Take-Two CEO: We Never Believed Single-Player Games Were Dead Unlike Our Competitors

To be fair, that was a general sentiment expressed by industry big wigs for a time. I don’t think Phil Spencer explicitely said they were dead, but I recall him questioning the value proposititon of single player games. Something changed over the course of last-gen that revived faith in single-player experiences and lead EA to greenlight Jedi: Fallen Order and M$ to invest tons of money in studios that focus on singleplayer content.

I personally give credit to the massive success of Sony titles like God of War and Spiderman, CDPR’s The Witcher 3, and the huge fan backlash to EA’s statement.
