As a counter example, here is a C file of 20,000 lines and no comments. I pushed this to Github long time ago, as it was the most gigantic "real" C file I have encountered.

Comments are very barebone. There is structure, but needing to mess with this kind of code would be scary. Granted, most games are write once and never look back.

You made a good point because this code is neither clean nor expressive. The parent comment talked about clean and expressive code. Can you show some of clean and expressive code and try to make the same argument again? (I am not holding my breath that you will)
