always online includes on its own used games ban + a lot of other negative things.

Despite everything wrong with always-online, a ban on used games is not one of its cons. It might be there alongside the always-online requirement, but there's no inherent reason it needs to be.

Definitely always online.I'm primarily a PC gamer now so used games don't really exist anyway. As long as older games do actually go on sale (which they definitely do) I don't miss used games too much. It would be very rare for me to sell games, I'd mostly just buy them used since they were cheap, so don't miss being able to sell games at all.A game crashing if my internet cuts out for a second or not being able to play anything at all if it's down would be completely unacceptable though.

Interesting to hear, thanks for your throughs.

Both are terrible, but for me used ban would be worse as I buy a lot of used games on big discount when they aren't the highly coveted and antecipated by me titles. Always online isn't much of a problem outside of eventual trips but can really be annoying due to account share with my son.

Think so too, both is terrible.

Hey Teddy from Persona 4 :) The result of this poll is very interesting.

I hate always online.... hate it, so voted that.

The very idea of banning a used game (ei. can only install it once or such), is also horrible to me.
You cant do that, without logins and online checks ect.

So like,.... "banned used games" is basically a 2-in-1 (it only works with always online).

Always online is the worst.

I’m going to say always online is worse, but asking people to compare these options is like asking if you would rather eat cow shit or pig shit.



Neither would bother me I pretty much buy all my games digitally now haven't bought a used game in ages. Also even though I mostly play games offline I always have the console I use connected to the internet.

But shouldn't that be a matter of principle? ^^
And In some places there is no internet, these people have a big problem then xD

Used game for sure. I always sell meh games after I complete them. Sometimes even good ones too and buy again when incomplete edition is announced.



Always online is definetly the worse of the two.
