Anthropic cracks down on game cloning in Claude Code after wave of AI-built knockoffs

Anthropic has updated its usage policies to prevent users from employing Claude to reverse-engineer video game code or assist in the creation of unauthorized modifications. This change restricts the model from analyzing game binaries or identifying vulnerabilities, shifting the company toward stricter enforcement of intellectual property and security standards. By explicitly prohibiting these technical workflows, Anthropic is distancing its platform from activities that facilitate game piracy or the development of unauthorized software patches.
