The mandatory warranty for any product in the EU is 2 years

I don't know a lot about EU policies. In Australia, products must last for as long as a reasonable consumer would expect them to last (for example, 10 years for a large appliance like a fridge), including advertised features or features a sales rep told you about, regardless of the warranty period. A company removing features only three years after purchase would absolutely qualify for a refund or replacement.

I think Australia's policies are stricter than the EU though. As far as I know, Australia is the only country where you can return games on Steam if there's a major bug, even if you've had it for months and have hundreds of hours of game time. Valve got sued by the government and fined AU$3 million because they tried their "no refunds after 2 hours of game play" approach in Australia, which is illegal there (you can't have conditions like that on refunds if the refund is for a major issue). https://www.pcgamer.com/valve-posts-a-notice-about-australian-consumer-rights-on-steam/
