Game Developer reported on October 30 that Anthropic confirmed a Claude Code prompt change intended to discourage recreating a particular existing game. The publication said a company spokesperson referred it to a public statement describing the change.
The company explanation relayed by Game Developer says original creations, games in a genre, and work using a developer's own designs and assets are intended to remain supported. That intended scope does not guarantee how any individual request will behave. The prompt history and tool behavior have not been independently verified for this account.
