Is Star Citizen's new server meshing tech plagiarized? (lemmy.haigner.me)

Sorry if this is not the right place to ask, but am I the only one who thinks that Star Citizen's new server meshing technology is an old hat? I believe it's the same technology that a few highly scalable Minecraft servers have been using for years. WorldQL introduced this back in 2021, but I think the idea was around even earlier than that. GrieferGames has also put this into practice.

SC has been working on this problem since before 2021, but no they didn't invent the concept. They are attempting to implement it at a scale that nobody has been able to do as flawlessly as SC requires. If they pull it off, it'll be an incredible leap.

There are no game engines that do completely seamless server meshing at the moment. SC is trying to do that.
