Are you sure, that those regulations concern also the license you get with the game?

The European Court of Justice recently also made some interesting judgements were selling of used software e.g. is allowed and there are perspectives on the horizon like software guarantees. I'd love to see regular guarantees in software as some developers and publishers behave like donkeys and sell broken useless stuff.
(...)
Simply being able to start the game and load a mission doesn't equal "it will run".
System requirements are actually meant to represenet the necessary hard- / software to run the full game with all it's features and under all conditions (e.g. multiplayer with max players per server, all single player missions etc.) just with reduced graphical details within reasonable limits.
It's not a value representing the necessary specs to see the main menu or sit on the ground lagging around with 1-15fps.

I am interested in this. Do you have any European Court of Justice case judgments about min. requirements?
