I think a lot of people don't understand the complexity of the operation or the real cost.
a bad example:
Take an MP3 file and switch out the ending .mp3 for .avi. now see if an avi player will recognise the file. if not. open the file in notepad and tell me what you need to change about that code to get it to run as an avi.
That is what you're asking them to do. like it ain't no thing.
More like they have master files FLAC versions off all their assets since they are done with the industry standard programs. It's more like exporting all the FLAC files to AAC (Unreal Engine 4) instead of crappy MP3 (CryEngine).
What is true is things like the UI and weapon systems would require a full rework most likely.
