Far less popular games have received physical releases on Switch. So when they say they're working on a physical release for Celeste, that pretty much means it's happening.
Well, for most titles like this, they need to prove through digital sales that a physical release is viable to a publisher, especially if they want a wider physical release at retail. Before Celeste launched I doubt any company was willing to do a physical release for them, nor did they have the money themselves to pay for one.
I know what you mean but in that situation I would prefer they just stay digital. But hey, I guess if they sweeten the deal with manual, reversible cover, and other physical goodies then I can somewhat get my money's worth even if I've already played the game.
But if you prefer physical...and this is the only way for them to do physical...why would you want them to stay digital? Even if you decide you dont want to double dip, plenty of other people do. It doesnt hurt you any if others have access to a physical copy.
Good policy except when it doesn't happen like with Stardew Valley and you end up waiting for nothing
