Details

Anthropic's Claude AI has started restricting tasks involving the modding, decompiling, or reverse-engineering of video game code.
The restriction follows a surge in AI-assisted piracy, including browser ports of World of Warcraft, Call of Duty, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and a PlayStation 5 jailbreak enabling cross-platform play for Xbox and Nintendo titles.
Users report that non-malicious generic reverse-engineering tasks are also being blocked by the model.
No official announcement has been made explaining the specific reason for the new restrictions, though the timing aligns with legal risks from unauthorized game distribution.
