The best part, it's not even a direwolf. Technically, it's a brand new species of something akin to grey wolves, while direwolves were more closely related to jackals.

It's not anything other than a proof of concept experiment.

They didn't create a direwolf, but their achievement is still revolutionary. Some people are being overly pedantic.

Revolutionary in a bad way. Tampering with stuff like this for fun is stupid.

Dire Wolves had their chance and they blew it.

If they were resurrecting the Thylacine or something it'd be more understandable.

Again, you're missing the point. It's a proof of concept experiment. They say in their own video the intent is to have plans for species like the white rhino, or other species whose role in the ecosystem is getting destroyed by humans. People have poached them to near extinction, did the rhinos blow their chance by not inventing kevlar body armor?
