Yes, it was far far more than just a buggy release. Even if the game was originally released in the state it's in now people would still have been pissed. The bugs were just a distraction.

I could have lived with the bugs and poor performance, but the game was shallow af and very much different from what we were sold for years.

It was basically the we have X at home meme, but with a meta twist.

Yeah, the only other game that was so brazenly lied about before launch was No Man's Sky and to their credit Hello Games actually implemented everything that was promised back then now and then some, for free.
