alt Hacker News> Claude seems to be backing out of doing this kind of thing.
Claude now refuses to reverse engineer games to fix compatibility issues on Linux/Proton, particularly in relation to anti-cheat software. Codex still works, and while Claude is still useful for other types of work, I am considering a migration to GLM and DeepSeek.

Interesting, is this a recent model? I am literally RE-ing commercial software live with the classic Opus 4.8 as I type this, no refusals and happily made a PoC which could easily be used for (physical) harm if used by the wrong person.
Of course, I had to assuage the clankers fears by setting up a fake scenario before sending the one-shot, but I assume everyone does that nowadays.
DeepSeek has never once hesitated in helping me figure out Proton issues, and so far has never failed to figure it out. It's also never cost more than about a nickel or so to solve the issue, at API pricing
