Firstly, they have said right from the outset that used games were still going to exist and they never had a chance to release details before the 180, so we'll never know what their policy was going to be.
The rumours for the used game system were that there was going to be an XBL fee that needed to be paid when you purchase a used game. Which would kinda make sense, seeing as you're trading in the disk... but still have a full copy of the game permanently attached to your Gamertag you can still play on any Xbox in the world.
And as I stated in a previous post. They had a perfectly good reason for the 24 hour check in (although I admit you have every right to be upset if you don't have access to the internet, or if your internet goes down for an extended period)
Scenario - the original XB1 DRM, but without 24 hour check in
Example - John buys a game, installs it and plays it. He then gives the disk to a friend, who installs it and plays it... while john is still playing it from his hard drive, John's friend (let's call him Jack) gives the disk to Jill and she installs it and plays it, while both John and Jack are still playing the game... Rinse and repeat hundreds/thousands of times and everyone in the world has a copy of the game but only a half a dozen copies were ever bought. Microsoft goes broke and Xbox disappears forever.

A company made an innovative decision that resulted in negative feedback and poor sales.
Then they had the hide to listen to that feedback and changed their policies to address the issue?
God forbid any company listen to it's user base and do what they want.
Then they have the audacity to make more money because of it? The Nerve!
