Not to my knowledge. I would call the YKTTW Patched Out
"Pale Ebenezer thought it wrong to fight, but Roaring Bill (who killed him) thought it right." - Hillaire Belloc, The Pacifist

Is there a trope for a specific variation on Dummied Out where, instead of stuff being hidden/removed before publishing, it's removed by later versions?
As an example, Warcraft 3 has one level tell you to load suicide-bomb units into zeppelins to attack a base, another tells you to target a vehicle with a massive damage spell. Both these abilities were removed by the Frozen Throne expansion, but you now get an error message when trying to do the very action the game just told you to do.
Similarly, expansions in Dawn Of War have the tooltips claim commander units can detect mines and invisible units. This was true in the first game, but not in the expansions which use a different stealth system.
