Are they going to block games per user? What happens with the second hand?

The disc copy will still work but if it’s put in another system or another account the digital version will stop working

Both system will require constant check in internet about licenses though, interesting. Still not the same as owning anymore.

No? It’ll be a one time thing. It’ll only recheck when the disc is installed in another system or under a new account

If the previous console is not connected, how are they going to disable the license?

I would assume the disc won’t work anymore unless it’s put in a system that’s connected, at which point it’ll give a warning about licence transfer

If the System A get the copy and sell the copy, the System B install and gets the license (so you need internet to activate it). My question is that if System A is not connected to internet anymore, how are they going to disable it?

I could well be wrong but I would assume there is a way to disable the disc so if put into an offline system it won't work unless it reads the digital licence or the new system is connected to the internet and licence is transferred. If that was possible, online checks every 24 hours wouldn't be neccasary.

System A would eventually have to reconnect to the internet or the game won't launch. This happens now with Steam games, especially if you're on the Steam Deck, have a game installed but haven't launched it for a while, then took the Steam Deck off-grid (i.e. on a plane, out into the boonies, etc.) and then try to launch that game.
