I think the tech presentations are impressive. However, I'm sure that other engines such as the Unreal Engine will have similar tech in the future. Epic Games has much more funds than CIG and an army of developers who can do the same. Epic Games' net worth (valuation) was $32 billion in 2022.

Chris depends on people not knowing that the tech he presents as new and revolutionary is actually quite old and exists in many games you've played. It's all very scammy. The earliest game I know of that had static server "meshing" was UO in 1997. Pic related, that game's server boundaries.
If you've played games like World of Tanks, they bought the company that used to sell dynamic server "meshing" as middleware and used it for their games. That company was selling their tech to games around 20 years ago as devs were tired of re-writing this kind of thing for each new MMO.

Classic confidence scam.
Cobra had dynamic meshing since ever? It's just called "instancing" here.
Exactly, it's hilarious. And I did note that with only 2 players, 1 crossing the server boundaries was smooth some of the time. And not smooth at other times.
Why is their on-site LAN Pyro demo so janky? index into Berks VOD
I'm willing to bet cash it's because their routing is made up of wishful thinking and unicorn gas.
Sadly they were talking about milking space-whales, not the backers

Havent watched the CitCon presentations, but Linkedin seems to say he left CIG 3 years ago. No idea though.Nope...he was heading the lighting panel demonstrating RTX in the all new and exciting StarEngine
He was definitely there...saw him myself. No mistaking that blue mohican hairdo
I'm only watching the greatest con on earth show because I can't catch up on the rugby world cup due to the 100+mph winds yesterday and today have blown my Sky satellite dish (and the wall bracket) over to Norway...can't get an engineer out here to replace it until Thursday due to foul weather ferry cancellations well into next week

Also, @Skizomeuh , I had to cringe when Chris presented Benoit Beausejour and butchered his name. Jesus, the man does not even know how to pronounce the name of this own CTO.
