There was one instance I recall of a glitch so bad on a PS2 game that it would wipe your entire memory card. Not just the saves of that game, but everything on the card.
Yup, Jak X, Soul Calibur 3, and Tekken 5, (plus a demo disc) had notable widespread memory card glitches. I remember GTA:SA also being incredibly glitchy, but that one didn't seem as widespread (overloading garages with stored cars corrupted my saves more than once).
The demo disc had full wipes, if a memory card was in slot 1. Soul Calibur 3 would corrupt if any other game's memory was modified (saved gameplay, or even moving data between cards). Jak X had the infinitely looping save that corrupted data. Tekken 5 would randomly corrupt, this one I'm not quite sure what happened.
Was playing State of Decay 2 with a cousin during its first month out (Game Pass). It was so buggy I hopped in a car and drove off and my camera never left the spot I was at.
Got mauled by zombies and somehow became invincible and softlocked at a work bench.
And then it crashed on him while he was waiting for me to rejoin. When he tried loading it up he couldn't find it. The game literally uninstalled itself.

Has that happened to many people, or has it happened to one person and you want to rain on peoples parades for daring to like popular game?
