Why is there no remedy available me when a manufacturer removes a feature due to a flaw after purchase?
<p>A few years ago I purchased an Intel processor simply because this has TSX features and I wanted to write code to test this feature out. They disabled this feature in a microcode update because it was buggy and they alleged they fixed this in a subsequent version of IP.</p>

<p>Now in the later processors this and many other so called performancec features that command a premiuim on price have been removed. I complained to intel and requested a refund and they ignored me. Is there a remedy avaiable me? And if so what is this? And why is there no compensation made for loss of enjoyment, loss of performance and nuisance caused to reimplement software when they have to clearly and publicly produced defective goods?</p>

<p>Under EU consumer law, should that be your jurisdiction, you would have a claim against the seller for a full or partial refund.</p>

<p>Amazon was <a href="https://www.geek.com/games/amazon-pays-partial-refund-for-ps3-sale-due-to-otheros-feature-removal-1179221/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">forced to do this when Sony removed the OtherOS feature</a> from Playstations against the wishes of its users (users were forced to either update to continue to be able to play new games, or refuse and never receive a game update and lose the ability to play new games).</p>
