Anthropic updates Claude to 'steer it away' from letting users clone games following weeks of Steam being inundated with AI slop
“We added two sentences to Claude Code's prompt on Opus 5.5 to steer it away from recreating someone else's specific game”
What happened
After weeks of Steam filling up with AI-made games, some of them direct copies, and several studios cancelling public demos for fear of being cloned, Anthropic added two sentences to the instructions of its Claude Code tool. The new rule tells the AI not to recreate a specific existing game, "even if it is renamed or called original."
