Actually MS did not block used games. As I remember MS studios which would be the one setting the standard for games on the X1 stated they would allow users to Sell, Trade, Gift and share their digital games. The problem was that MS would not tell publishers what they can do and if a publishers wanted to they could block their games from used sales.
The only problem with MS system is that they did not have everything lined up yet with how the whole thing would work, thus their message was muddled and incomplete. The only real negative I saw was the 24 hour check. I believe this was a concession to publishers for some of the things MS wanted to do but it all got mixed up.
I actually believed that what MS tried to do would have changed the industry. Right now, digital games are not Sold, Traded Gifted or shared. MS going down this route would have changed Steam policy and even Sony to do the same. Since MS messed up the whole stragety and message, they had to drop everything in go back to the basics.
I believe MS just decided to start over, not talk about online or any of the things they mentioned since it only kept negative news circulating and they could not get any traction. Now it seems they can trickle out their plan piece by piece to gain mindshare again before release to gain some momentum back
