Reddit debates Anthropic's game-cloning block: protecting companies but not workers?

Reddit user ProxyLumina blasts Anthropic for having Claude block video game cloning and reverse-engineering to keep companies from going out of business, calling the decision "completely unethical, unjustified, and wrong": if protecting companies is a valid refusal reason, who answers to individuals losing their livelihoods to AI?
The post argues for a double standard: since AI can already do the same work X/Y businesses do, either businesses and individuals both get displaced or neither should — the guardrail shouldn't protect companies while individuals' careers collapse. The thread taps into a growing tension between vendor capability guardrails and AI-driven job displacement.
