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.

Dynamic zones help balance the processing of a particular zone across multiple servers based on usage.

In a static setup, an unlimited number of players could end up on the same server causing performance issues in a particular zone. While dynamic will cap the number of players on a server and split the single zone into many to preserve performance.
