Anthropic has implemented restrictions in Claude Opus 5.5 to prevent the model from cloning and reverse-engineering video games. The company says original game development will continue to be allowed, and it's adjusting its rules to strike a balance between innovation and protection.
The restrictions were prompted by a surge of AI-generated game copies, some of which reproduced entire titles like Call of Duty and GTA V for browser execution. Anthropic's move reflects growing concern over unauthorized reproduction of existing games while preserving legitimate use cases for developers building new experiences.
