AnyDVD removes the CSS an other popular copy protections from movie DVD's (on the fly) because those are known and/or relatively simple methods. But it cannot remove the very sophisticated and sometimes custom copy protections of games.

Also, the CSS copy protection of movies is the same for all DVD's, as it is a standard, and the CSS decryption is built into all DVD drivers. On the other hand, the decryption of encrypted game files is built into the main game executable and is different for all games - and often even for different versions of the same game.
