An update to Anthropic's Claude AI software has seemingly blocked the creation of outright clones or copies of existing games.
An update to Anthropic's Claude AI software has seemingly blocked the creation of outright clones or copies of existing games.
The short version
- Instead, Claude has been altered to only create "original" games.
- Among the first to share news of the change was X user Chasm , who posted a screenshot showing the new rule, purportedly added around 27th October.
- "Do build original games, games in a genre, and games from the user's own designs and assets," it reads.
What happened
"Don’t build a recreation of a specific existing game, even if it is renamed or called original.”. While Anthropic is yet to issue an official statement on the new rule, technical staff member Addy Osmani commented beneath Chasm's post, confirming the change's legitimacy.
Why it matters
He noted it was included because "using Claude to infringe IP is against our usage policy", but added that creating original games and those built with a user's own assets should still be possible.
