Many such cases. It should be illegal to retroactively remove content after a purchase. That is to say, publishers should be required to provide all previous versions of a game that were sold, as long as any of those were auto-updated to new versions. Reason #387 that software piracy is a moral imperative.
I'm still salty that Superhot VR removed the suicide-to-continue option.
Honestly, I don't see why there hasn't been a push to mandate the ability to choose which version/patch of a game you play on. Its been a major problem for decades.
Like, fine ban me from online when I do. But if I want to sit in single player duping shit and enjoying a build that only worked before the nerf, that's my fucking prerogative.
GOG at least is good about letting you get the previous installers for most games. Sometimes you have to go through their client application to downgrade, other times there are old versions linked on the website. Sometimes you can't downgrade at all, but support has reportedly sent old game installers to people on request.
Regardless of the issues with GOG and their parent company, I at least appreciate they let us show that there is a desire and market for these options.

Because it costs the developers/publishers money? Duh.
