Anthropic has added new rules to Claude Code's system prompt to prevent the AI from recreating specific existing video games, a move confirmed by engineer Addy Osmani as an effort to avoid IP infringement. While the change may shield Anthropic from liability, experts argue it is unlikely to slow the broader wave of AI-assisted game porting and cloning that has surged recently.
Background
Anthropic has been increasingly cautious about AI-generated content that could infringe on intellectual property, with prior incidents involving music and image generation. This new rule targets a specific use case where users were employing Claude to reverse-engineer and recreate commercial video games.
