Why do some publishers keep saying nobody wants single player games anymore? Clearly there's still a huge craving for them.

Profit margin. If i recall, this phrase isn't really mean to be said people don't want single player games, more directed to investors that money isn't in single player games. Single player games stop selling and need to be remade or keep offering additional content to remain profitable in order to continue growing. Shareholders don't want consistent sales, shareholders want growth.*

*If I recall, the Witcher's investors are the staff, therefore they are more concerned with quality products instead of high margin profi... oh, will that GWENT game have additional fees? If so, forget what I said"

I'm sure you would invest in Diablo Immortal if you were pretty much guaranteed $100k in your bank account from a small investment. All of you would do the same. Its easy money, no one gets hurt, and you remain anonymous mostly ;)
