For PC its digital only they did not confirm nothing for council and like I said blizzard cannot tell Nintendo Microsoft or Sony how to release software for their platforms oh well if no hard copy for Switch ps4/5 x box blizzard is dead to me and Iāll never support ther trash again
Well then, if there is no physical copy for those consoles it seems you should be blaming the console makers - since you said Blizz canāt tell them what to do.
Right?

Then I have nothing to worry about because Nintendo releases 99% of their new games as hard copys/Digital and 1% of others like Okami as Digital only 
with a game as big and as popular as Diablo 2 they would be fools not to sell hardcopies
blizzard said diablo 2 resurrected is a digital product only there is no physical copy
however someone on ebay is selling a very nice custom one he even includes a case
Good luck with that. Physical release is dictated by the publisher, in this case, Blizzard. If they choose to go digital only, then your only chance at a physical release will be if they allow it to happen themselves or via something like Limited Run Games, but being that this game requires periodic updates with no known end to that cycle, I doubt thatāll happen. Best we could hope for is a LRG ācollectorās boxā with goodies in it to act as a CE (pretty much what weāre looking for anyway since we want something to go with our other CEs).
We shall see I still feel thereās going to be a physical release for switch ps4/5 x box blizzard only confirm digital only for PC blizzard dose not have the right to tell Nintendo Sony or Microsoft how to run their business or how those companies distribute software that they have the rights to for their platform but like I said we shall see I donāt support digital only and I never will I will physically own what I buy or I donāt buy it end of discussion
You can now pre-order the game off the Nintendo E shop canāt wait to go into Walmart and get my physical copy

Unfortunately, there is no confirmed physical release of Diablo 2 Resurrected. That being said, there is some proof that Blizzard is still considering designing a disc release of the Diablo 2 remake. It is possible that, after the game releases, there might be room to gather collectors editions of this new addition to Diabloās universe. On release, there is almost no chance for any sort of physical copy to be available.
Like many releases of itās time, Diablo 2 Resurrected ran into a brick wall when the pandemic began. Not only was production slowed, but it became significantly harder to work with any warehouses or physical distribution. So, a lot of these studios ā even gigantic ones like Blizzard ā simply couldnāt dedicate the manpower to stuff like physical copies.
However, Blizzard has never been one to stick its nose up to a fan-beloved project before. There is almost no doubt that a collectorās edition of the game may eventually grace store shelves. Whether or not it has a full disc, or is simply memorabilia from the game, is impossible to say. Still, there is still plenty of time before we have to officially give up hope.
Thatās nonsense youāre still thinking PC Nintendo switch doesnāt take a disk silly
inside that case is a digital code/link of how to download the game 
hahah
I am 99.999999999999% sure that Blizzard said it will be digital only.

slight correction, replace fan-beloved project with a quick easy buck! haha they probably would double the revenue just by releasing a fancy box. My buddy is a huge star wars fan and has bought every single version of star wars that has a different box. So I know there are some crazy people out there hah

Blizzard have confirmed D2R is digital onlyā¦Iām not happy about that but it is what it is.
Well there is that evil collectors edition right for 60 thatās D3 and D2 together most likely itāll have a physical copy of D3 and a digital code for D2 if they do that Iād probably be willing to except that because I want another copy of D3 for switch so me and my old lady can play together off-line local co-op between both switches and basically I get D2 for free right because normally D3 $60 by itself so itās still kind of a good deal iāll still keep my fingers crossed for a physical release though I hate digital only it takes away ownership collectors value resale value And like I said in a previous post blizzard does not have the right to tell Nintendo Sony and Microsoft how to run their business now if blizzard sold or gave the right to the software to those companies they can release it to their platform however they want and if this is the way video games are going to be this digital only trash time for me to give them up and focus more on my table top games like my trading card games and dig out my old school video games that are all plug-and-play that I physically own and have owned like my ps1 ver of d1 i still play that game has skyrocketed in value itās probably around $200 it just seems like these companies want to go digital only so all they do is take your money and you owe nothing sounds like a money making ponzy Scheme to me
Ps I donāt care what Rod Ferguson says he does not speak for Nintendo Microsoft or Sony
Yeah Iām so so pissed about this. Not only is it digital only, but you have to get online with the game and be integrated into the stupid battle net. I fully walked away from blizzard/activision after the merger. Came back with the physical release of D3 on switch and was pretty happyā¦ I was slowly creeping back into giving blizzard another chance. I was so excited for D2 resurrected. After 1. Digital only 2. Having to play online or at least log into battle net then re-connect at least every 3 months. So in the future the switch eshop goes offline. This game will eventually become obsoleteā¦ we have to re-purchase on a new system. = NO WAY. Fully done with Blizzard. Was a repeat customer, Warcraft, hearthstone and Diablo. Done.
WHAAAAT YEAAAAAAR IS IT !!?? 
Some of us collect games. It is very difficult to display a digital collection.
Disc/cartridge/whatever or nothing.
Son, blizzard makes the physical copies and coordinates with each platform on cover design. Blizzard made the decision. Sony, Microsoft and anybody else does not get a say whether or not it is digital or physical. It is blizzardās product. They release as they see fit.
Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, etc., make money out of either and are pushing for digital only. Just look at the newer consoles and the cloud gaming that Xbox is moving toward.
Blizzard better make physical copies of all their major releases, otherwise I will be stuck on free Diablo 3 forever.
I will play my boxed versions of Diablo 1 and 2.
I am also a game collector.
If it is digital only, then it gets pirated. If I canāt pirate it, I donāt play it. So, around and around we go production companies. You started the greed. Just make a boxed versionā¦ I will buy it. Otherwise, you donāt get my money.
P.S. digital copies of anything are worth no more than AU$10 to me, so remember that.
