I know I know...but anyways it is a current position and skill they are looking for..one can dream..

Experience developing MMO games.
Strong portfolio of work in current game engines UE4/5

Reminds me of:

Wow spent all those millions making the forge light engine and now not going to use it. Thats just sad….

Sunk cost. Doesn't mean abandoning it is the wrong decision.

Switching to Unreal/Unity etc., means they can hire people that at least already know some of the engine, shortening the learning curve, and depending how aggressively they use it / avoid locking to a specific engine version, get "free" engine updates. (Where free means they don't have to develop it... they'd still have to up the licensing costs.)

This is a reasonable decision.
