Anthropic blocks Claude Code from cloning existing video games

Original: Anthropic updates Claude Code to prevent recreation of existing video games Anthropic has implemented new instructions i

Anthropic has updated Claude Code so its Opus 5.5 model refuses to build direct clones of specific existing video games. The change adds instructions that stop the coding assistant from being used to recreate copyrighted titles, a move that lands amid ongoing debate about AI tools producing knockoff games and the legal grey zone around cloning gameplay and assets.

Why now: People are debating whether AI coding tools should be restricted from reproducing copyrighted games and what this means for developers.
