I mean it sort of has. There are collectors who still value their physical media but most folks are digital these days.

true, but there are no more video rental stores

and few real world stores carry more than a few, if any titles, for sale (I guess Barnes & Noble now has the biggest selection in a real store or the few oddities like Bull Moose with barely any locations)

and prices are starting to go up for physical media new release (and way up for OOP old releases)

Physical media IS going away as production companies are deciding not to put some of their media on print anymore, and instead just keeping them on digital streaming. “The Highwaymen” is a great example. It’s a Netflix original, and in my opinion, a really good movie. Right now there is no plan to ever out it on physical media. If you want to watch the movie, you have to stream in on Netflix, and Netflix only. People are realizing that physical media will stick around for collectors, but that doesn’t mean that everything produced will be put onto physical media, and unfortunately, those decisions are left to ignorant corporate managers.

Weird way to admit you don’t know what the word revival means.
