Anthropic confirms new Claude Code limits to prevent game cloning, users report blocking reverse engineering tasks

What the coverage shows

Tom's Hardware and The Verge both frame the story as Anthropic tightening Claude Code to stop it from reproducing existing games, with Tom's Hardware quoting an employee on “the right balance” and The Verge saying the system prompt was updated. The Register is the outlier, and its extract instead points to a separate Cursor supply-chain attack, so it does not track the same angle as the other two.
