Pretty simple root cause analysis to conclude that the game's brokenness was the ultimate reason though. Like, why was the game being massively refunded?

Sure, but Sony didn't decide to take it down because it was broken. Only because people were refunding. Bit pedantic, but I see a lot of revisionist history going on in this thread and just wanted it to be clear.

we can be clear that sony removed it because it was so broken that people were mass refunding it. it's revisionist to say "it had nothing to do with how broken the game was". the broken game is the direct cause.

It's still early morning for me, so I apologise for my words and thoughts being muddled.

I just meant the direct reason they removed it wasn't because it was broken. They would have removed any game that was being mass refunded. But yes, the reason people were refunding was because it was broken.
