Sounds like the price reduction will be only in Walmart accounting system, so they can justify throwing them all away and write off the lost sales. I doubt they will actually sell all of those games.
Per the article, Microsoft is paying them not to sell any of the physical games and take them off the shelves. I’ll bet dollars to donuts that they end up buried in a landfill next to ET.

Rules:
1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
So for 1 cent you can buy 33 disks and still say “keep the change”.

Walmart is selling through the website or their partners website. The stuff is kept in storage until the item is deemed useless.

I was only joking about the “0.03 cents”. I’m on PS5, buy all games digital and find Microsoft disgusting so I wouldn’t buy it even for 0.03 cents.
Did you stop reading right at what you copied? The next sentence says all sales will be blocked. So you won’t be able to buy it.
