A note that they did not resurrect the dire wolf.
Their marketing department says they did.
What they did was create a new subspecies of grey wolf that outwardly resembles a Dire wolf.
The two species diverged between 2.5 and 6 million years ago.
Six million years ago we were orangutan like apes living in trees and Chimps/Bonobos were too. 2.5 million our ancestors were Homo Habilis.
But we are in dire need for this wolf.
Nah, if it turns out to be a real problem, humans are REALLY good at extincting megafauna.
Good thing they aren't actually doing that, I guess.
Yet another time some tech Bro thought of a clever but totally overpromising marketing fad for absolute idiots that will get someone hurt or killed because none regulates things there properly.
Just like these pseudo high tech cars with...what was it called? An "autopilot" that doesn't actually autopilot and is worse than what cars offered before it and is still worse than what an basic Skoda, Seat or Renault can do? Heard their CEO was into Ketamine was well....

Sounds like his request for having them in an exhibit was denied
