AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.

Developers and users who try to build or prompt Claude to copy existing games may be affected if the rule applies to their work. The next step is to check Anthropic's own published policy text for the exact definition of a banned recreation and any exceptions. Until then, the scope of the change is unclear from this source alone.
