There’s a thread on Reddit showcasing some hilarious Code Comments within the Generals Codebase: https://old.reddit.com/r/commandandconquer/comments/1izpkmh/funny_generals_source_code_comments/

Examples:

    // Assumption: Things with a KINDOF_STRUCTURE flag can never be built from 
    // a factory (ProductionUpdateInterface), because the building can't move
    // out of the factory. When we do our Starcraft port and have flying Terran
    // buildings, we'll have to change this ;-)
    // Remember: To ASSUME makes an ASS out of U and ME. 
    Player.cpp

    // HERE WOULD BE A GREAT PLACE FOR AN IDIOT TEST:
  // REJECT SIMULATION NODES THAT ARE OFF SCREEN!!!!!!!!!!

I was obsessed with Generals in 2003. It would be very damaging to my productivity if there was a Mac version.

EA? Why, what happened? Is it truly the end of time?!

No but seriously, does someone know what the motivation is?

China EA has been generous.

I almost feel dirty, liking something Electronic Arts does.

Oh man. Generals was the last game that me and some friends played on lan together. Many many hours of fun. Sadly those days are long gone.

Generals being open sourced is massively goated. I can’t believe EA finally made a decision I actually like.

Weird, I had the same reaction to this and the news that Ron DeSantis said the Tate brothers aren’t welcome in Florida. “That’s nice but you’re still a massive piece of shit.”

I wonder what this will mean for OpenRA…
