Claude guardrails debate: arena shooter prompt allegedly rejected and files deleted

_sholtodouglas · x · 2026-11-10

Developer @sholtodouglas says he described an arena shooter's mechanics, weapons, and level layouts in detail for Claude, only to have it apparently trip guardrails for resembling Splitgate — with files allegedly deleted. He stresses he never asked for "a Splitgate-like game." The debate: if a detailed original description shouldn't be refused, is "make a game like X" acceptable? Either way, guardrails are just hurting legitimate users here.
