Yeah, to be honest that's always what made the games they pusblished so much better than anything else for me.All of the games you've mentioned have single player components with the exception of Sea of Theives. They've been launching games with popular SP AND MP focuses since Xbox live was a thing. MS first party has had a huge online MP focus since they got into online gaming. This is no new thing.
Yes they've become more service oriented than before... but so has every other publisher...
Which other publisher would go for the trouble into letting a super hero open world game have coop in the entire campaign, or would pursue coop in a open action rpg? None I can think of.
Not to say I don't like single player or story driven only games, or would want for Ms to never publish games like that, but they almost always deliver a more complete package than anyone else, and I'd hate to see that changing.
