That movement started about ten years ago and is in full swing. The list of physical publishers is long, but to name a few you have Strictly Limited, Red Art, East Asiasoft, Pixel Heart, Special Reserve, First Press, Pixnlove.Ngl, this effort to choke the life out of the physical medium by these mega corporations is disgusting. Its like a slow strangulation through set incentives by these platform holders themselves for developers to avoid it and push people towards digital. I hope some kind of "vinyl"-ish movement will eventually spring out of this, with some small manufacturers popping up to keep on catering to a smaller niche and print full games on disc/chips.
It's a bit more expensive buying stuff like indie games physical but the value retention on these products are actually good.
This business might actually increase because of the Switch 2, which is ironic in a way.
