@apujanata, 'Core gamer' is such a vague term, you and sagexsdx could be talking about different sets of people.
On topic, I agree with sagexsdx - I don't think this is a deal breaker. Fable was entirely single player and the sequel is still primarily a single player game. I think most people with any interest in it know that. Of the people who will even see this news - mainly forum posters - I doubt many are going to rush out and cancel their preorders just because they'll have to wait a few days to play online co-op.
I'm not seeing the same anecdotal evidence as you. Most people seem pretty indifferent to the news.
(Oh, and I totally agree about the downbidding of comments.)
