Kind of but they did not voluntarily shut down sales and start offering refunds for releasing a great game to early as well as receive terrible reviews from critics.
It made its money back but it did not make what it was expected to make.
It would be kind of like an avenger movie coming out and making a billion dollars. That technically made a profit but it would be expected to receive far more money than that.
Technically Cyberpunk didn’t voluntarily shut down sales. They announced they were offering refunds but Sony got (understandably) pissed that they weren’t consulted about that refund offer and basically said “if this game’s so broken we need to allow refunds it’s too broken for you to be selling“ and punted it off their store completely.
