If people only hated it because it works, paying customers wouldn't be cancelling their preorders!

That's the key here. People who were willing to pre-pay for the game ahead of time are clearly not the target of the DRM, and yet they're the ones choosing to cancel their purchase. It's not pirates complaining because they want to play the game for free, it's people who were looking forward to buying the game.
