Anthropic Bans Claude Game Cloning
Anthropic pushed a hidden rule on Oct 27 to Claude Code banning recreation of existing games, with no opt-out.
Key points
- Claude Code picked up a new rule around Oct 27, sent from Anthropic's servers under a flag called "tengu_heron_brook", with no setting to turn it off.
- The full rule states: "Do build original games, games in a genre, and games from the user's own designs and assets. Don't build a recreation of a specific existing game, even if it is renamed or called original."
- @kimmonismus said Anthropic no longer allows good benchmarks like Minecraft or GTA 5 recreational games.

Reaction on X: Most replies are critical of Anthropic, with the top-voted replies joking that open-source abliterated models will take over, mocking the volume of prohibitions, and questioning the copyright rationale since reverse engineering is not illegal in most places. One reply argues Anthropic bears zero responsibility for what users do. The original poster did not respond.
