Anthropic has introduced new rules for Claude Code, its AI-assisted programming tool, that prevent it from rebuilding familiar video games. The change was reported by Golem.de, which placed the restriction in the context of game development and artificial intelligence.

According to developers, the limits are not confined to obvious attempts at cloning a specific title. They say the rules also affect legitimate projects, suggesting that work which is not deliberately reproducing a known game can still run into the restriction.

The reporting does not set out the full scope of the rules, how Anthropic enforces them, or which titles fall under them. It also does not detail the reasoning behind the change beyond the ban on recreating known games.
