Most recently, eFootball released incredibly broken. Or the last gen versions of Cyberpunk 2077 on launch. (And to some extent still now)

This really is something you just Google, it's not uncommon at all. I just Googled "broken game release" and all I saw were examples. Cyberpunk was a recent high profile one.

First result is this: https://www.goliath.com/gaming/10-games-that-were-broken-at-...

Some of my all-time favorite games in that list so I definitely do not agree that those companies should be fined. I've gotten extremely good bang for the buck considering the thousands of hours I've put in.

Elite Dangerous: Odyssey. Couldn't even get a refund because it took more than 2 hours to get the game to even play, still was broken. Company stole $60 from me and somehow never fined.

Pick any big budget game released by a AAA studio or publisher

This seems exaggerated.

Only slightly. The majority of AAA games are released with major bugs now. I now wait at least a year before buying new games.
