Why would blocking used games be illegal? Isn't this what PC retail games have been doing for years?

Yeah and they have already ruled that to be illegal. It's just waiting for a class action lawsuit to change things.

"An author of software cannot oppose the resale of his 'used' licences allowing the use of his programs downloaded from the internet," the ruling read. The Court said the exclusive right of distribution covered by a license is "exhausted on its first sale".

Going to other way and restricting the sale of physical games is not going to be popular.
