When you say this, what do you mean?

Best examples I can think of are Mass Effect 3 and Dead Space 3. Mass Effect was a rushed product with a single player campaign that had so many people enthralled and wanting more come crashing down to a disappointing ending. However, EA did decide to focus a lot of effort on a multiplayer portion of the game (which was fun, I'll admit) that included microtransactions for you to get better equipment and characters as well as map pack DLC since there isn't much DLC you can add to the story.

In Dead Space, they completely changed the game from survival horror to an action shooter with co-op in order to appeal to a wider audience instead of to the people that loved the creepy experience of the first game. They also changed the weapon and suit system to use resources that could be bought through microtransactions.
