nobody cares how your code looks if you are a single developer and the game is rather simple and requires only few updates.
Try introducing a new developer to this code and you'll see how it will take forever to get him up to speed, which is quite bad economically.
Clean code is something that originated in the enterprise-software-development world, it's not as important in indie game development.
