"The second caveat is that Activision had to remove all the comments from the code. These comments don't affect the way the code runs, but they greatly facilitate in understanding how it works. The reason for removing these comments is that some of them may have made references that could in some way embarrass Activision of (ex-)Activision employees, or worse: get them into legal or other problems. Because going through millions of lines of code and removing such undesirable comments by hand would have taking a huge amount of resources (and time), it was decided to simply delete all comments (though 'all' is a big word as we've already found a whole bunch of interesting comments in various places in the code, so some remnants are still left)."
Ca va etre super facile a reprendre : pas de commentaire, pas de data, et pas de son...
