Anthropic's latest model, Claude Opus 5.5, demonstrates exceptional code decompilation capabilities, reducing months of manual reverse engineering to hours or overnight runs. This has spawned hundreds of 'vibe-coded' browser game ports, including titles like Halo, GTA, and The Simpsons, which reportedly run well. This breakthrough significantly lowers the barrier to software reverse engineering while raising new copyright concerns for game publishers.
