Anthropic has updated its Claude Code AI coding assistant on Opus 5.5 with a new rule that blocks the recreation of specific existing video games, even if renamed, while allowing original and genre-based games. This move responds to concerns over AI-generated game clones flooding platforms like Steam and aims to enforce intellectual property policies directly within the AI's operation.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You must now design your game code and assets originally or risk AI tools refusing your requests. AI services are enforcing IP limits autonomously, so your creative control just became essential.
