Two game reconstruction projects leveraging generative tools have recently faced action from copyright holders. The developer of Fallout: New York stated that the project was shut down after receiving a cease-and-desist notice from Bethesda. Meanwhile, the video for another reconstruction project, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, was removed, and access to the website hosting its code was blocked.
Developer ChrisFirst previously showcased Fallout: New York, playable in a browser. He stated that the project was created using Claude Opus 5.5 and includes quests, dialogue options, an aiming system, and usable Pip-Boys. The game's scenes, weapons, characters, and ambient sounds were all generated by code. After the related video garnered significant views, ChrisFirst announced that he had received a notice from Bethesda and shut down the project.
Another developer, Maurice Heumann, claimed to have reconstructed the PC version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 using generative tools, running 17 agents simultaneously. According to him, the project is already playable, with many bugs fixed. Subsequently, Activision removed his posted video and blocked access to the website hosting the code.
