They must not be online in any way, ever.
I do agree it would be preferrable to only have one DRM evil on
the machine, than several that step on each others toes.
Desura belongs to indieroyale (or vice versa), and some titles in
their bundles are Desura only. Guess which ones I don't get, even
if I got the bundle?
Same as with copy protected audio CDs, or intros on some DVDs,
I don't like being punished for being honest. Every time a DVD
starts with an anti-piracy spot I think "if this were a pirate
copy, I wouldn't have this c**p on it."
And a CD that rejects being copied onto my laptop or phone is
pretty much useless. (Although I have a bit of music on my phone
I almost never listen to it on the go. It's noisy enough already
and adding music that I can only hear half of it wouldn't be that
helpful either... That's more for travelling on a long distance
train)
