Anthropic stops Claude from cloning video games
anthropic updated claude code's system prompt to prevent ai-made clones of existing video games, but still allows users to create original games.
anthropic has updated the system prompt of claude code on opus 5.5 to prevent the ai tool from being used to recreate existing video games. the updated prompt instructs claude to 'build original games, games in a genre, and games from the user's own designs and assets' and 'not build a recreation of a specific existing game, even if it is named or called original.' according to anthropic's addy osmani, using claude to infringe ip is against the company's usage policy. the update aims to balance the creative possibilities of claude code with intellectual property protection.
