Didn't wanted to resurrect the thread but reading about the remastered, I found this bit:

That means that if they had that source code they would have saved thousands of dollars in man-hours?

If that is true, they would be very frustrated to find that CD after they finish SC remastered.

"Gold master source code" probably doesn't include all the raw assets, no.

How much of the project was wrestling with the old code?

Brissia: Well, for example, the Infested Terran is called “Bug Guy” in the code. Internally, that’s his name. “Bug Guy.” The portrait? “Bug Guy Portrait.” So there were a lot of things that had internal names that left us thinking, “Why would they do this?”

Sounds like they had the source code already, they just didn't want it made public
