I’d enjoy if games were sold on USB drives inside figurines of game characters or something. Like a little battle axe thumb drive, or something like an amiibo.

That sounds lovely. It's middle ground that I think is more actionable than printing CDs and boxes by GOG. Of course, if GOG also have some way to allow the game maker selling their own physical version like how bandcamp do for artists that would be swell too.

Especially for the good old games they wouldn't need too big of a USB drive to have the game and digital manual and maybe digital art book and game OST on them.
