Back in 2015 when I was at AppDynamics, we sold a bunch of APM into Xbox. The Autopilot-based IaaS there (NOT Azure), their own web server (NOT IIS) and a huge mess of interconnected services proved to be a really steep climb for us but we sure had fun.
One of the use cases that we explored was how to enable the minimum level of care and feeding for all the services for the games that are still out but no longer hot, like something that's 5, 10, 15 years old. Nobody there wanted to touch those AT ALL, but it had to be maintained for contractual reasons. Operating in this proverbially dusty and cobwebbed areas of the code was very interesting. You had to move really carefully to not disturb anything, because often there was no original engineers left anymore who could fix things if they broke.
So I am not surprised that Epic turns old stuff.
