Anthropic's Claude AI blocks video game cloning and reverse-engineering

But copying Ghibli style is still allowed.

Software people protecting their "own" and fucking over everyone else.

This will work for approximately a year until ablated open weights models catch up, and then it will be open season. My 2c is that we need to figure out reputation systems that are resilient to low effort cloning rather than try to prevent it, because the latter approach is a non-starter outside of a very short time horizon.

I honestly don't see the appeal in cloning existing games. Why not leverage the tools to design and build new games? There are so many mechanics, niches and genres yet to be explored. Use this newly found power and bring them to life.
