Good luck porting over a 10 year old game you released on Unity to some other engine in such a way that your overall costs are lower than just sticking with it and eating the fees.

For a 10-year-old game I probably wouldn't (unless it was Minecraft level popular) but for a 1-year-old game I might, and for a game I haven't developed yet I definitely will.

If the game is old not being played that much anymore then the fees probably are not going to hit me that much but if it's old and popular it'll be a big financial hit.
