Earlier quoted context omitted.

Geez how does anyone remember all of that...

Your linter remembers for you.

Indeed, the very best kind of coding convention is the automated and enforced kind. Prevents a lot of arguing, leaving more time to argue about the code's actual contents.

I work at Massive (The now Ubisoft owned studio that developed world in conflict) and everyone is super happy to have this work available to everyone. It was sad when we had to shut the systems down before we shipped The Division. They were not well supported to be fair but I am proud of precedent Ubisoft is setting (or at least allowing) in open sourcing old game components (or; current systems like sharpmake) Just…

Thank you for making one of my favourite games of all time. I replay the single player campaign every year.

Ubisoft just got a lot more respect from me. I wish more game developers did this.

After all the deadlines and last-minute changes, most of game code is not something you want to make public. Especially with your name under it.

I love this banned string: https://github.com/ubisoftinc/massgate/blob/1bacdde1faec7ed1...

Why are "developer", "moderator", "server", "massive" (the developer), and "worldinconflict" banned?

These words are banned to be used as user and server names, not in the chat. Look at the three booleans that precede each of the strings.

Banned in nicknames, not chat - so people don't pretend to be an official representative of the developer, obviously.
