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.
