Really, if it was just one factor I was unhappy with, I'd probably grumble and get on with it- but it's a combination of things.
Likewise. I'd be alot more comfortable with an online activation system if 2K was handling it themselves, and would probably go along with it even though I don't really like the idea. But having a third-party do it for them just adds too many variables, enough so that I'm probably going to pass on the game. I certainly won't be getting it on release day, the way I had originally planned.
