That's actually pretty similar. I know there's three "life backgrounds" that you can pick from and they were meant to influence the game much further than they currently do (extra dialog options that are largely meaningless); there's a lot of half- or non-implemented features in the game, that's just getting overshadowed by the fact that it's pretty thoroughly unplayable on roughly half of the platforms they released on

Buggy releases can be fixed and I think it would be completely unreasonable for Sony to pull the game over bugs alone. I'm fairly convinced that the overpromising and underdelivering around features is the reason it was pulled. I can think of several other major releases in recent memory that had as rocky of a start but were patched and became relatively well received.
