what would be worse for you: used game ban or always online compulsion?

While both are terrible, always online is much worse. Case in point, my internet died last night (actually, my router hung itself up, but that took a while to be found out) while I was trying to post (yes, really!) this for the first time. Since I couldn't post or do anything on the internet, I went to gaming instead. If it would have been always online, I wouldn't have been able to do this, either.

Both are a huge problem when it comes to archiving videogames. Always online also means it runs on some server, and when that one is deactivated, can you still play your games? At the same time, can you run a game that has been flagged as used if there's a borrowed game ban?
