Due to new tariffs, many more physical game discs may "simply not get made"

A quick search shows a company here will produce 5000 DVDs for £0.27 each. That's with full-colour printing, but no packaging.

A 25% tariff would add $0.08 to to each disk. That hardly seems likely to affect the decision whether to publish with a DVD or digital-only.

I assume manufacturing prices in Mexico are similar (mostly equipment and materials cost, not much labour).

The disc itself costs practically nothing so a workaround could be found.

Its more likely they just want to end physical media so they don't have to pretend you own anything anymore.
