Anthropic adds rule blocking Claude from recreating specific existing games
Key points
- Anthropic added two sentences to Claude Code's prompt on Opus 5.5, per engineer Addy Osmani, to steer it away from copying specific games.
- XDA reportedly confirmed the new rule in Claude Code version 2.1.314, released October 30.
- Original games, genre games, and games built from users' own designs and assets are meant to remain allowed.
- Some GitHub issue reports reportedly say the restriction is blocking legitimate game development work.
Why it matters for marketers: Content and game teams using Claude Code may see refusals on remakes or near-copies, so they should check outputs against original designs before shipping.
