Dinosaurs!

Dinosaurs: Everybody loves 'em, don't even pretend otherwise. There's something about these prehistoric monsters that have always captivated the human imagination and allowed us to fabricate entire universes based on a few fragments of bone. Now, thanks to the iron-clad progress of capitalism, this does not need to be trapped in the past. Genetic engineering and creating has reached such a high level that people can (and will and do) create almost anything, depending on how much money they want to spend. And when it comes to dinosaurs, people are willing to spend a lot. Maybe even too much, as it turns out.   Although the height of dino-frenzy has worn off, Dinosaurs remain a beloved part of Megacorpolis, both as pets and mascots or citizens. From the humble Oculudentavis to the towering Argentinosaurus and everything inbetween, there's a dinosaur for everyone. Well, everyone with a sufficient level of income, anyway. Not even corporations are immune from the charm and sharp teeth of dinosaurs, and almost a century after they almost tore the city apart, dinosaurs grace many corporate logos.   There are specialty stortes that cater exclusively to the dinosaur-fanatic, from food to accessories to modifications to healthcare. The Best Friends Forge will create the dinosaur of your price for a very reasonable price, allowing you to wow your friends and punish your enemies with your new dino-pal. Among the exalted circles of executives, having the most awesome dinosaur is the kind of weird flex you might expect from those kinds of people.  
When existing dinosaurs aren't exciting enough, design bureaus across Megacorpolis work tirelessly to invent new ones and for a price, you can even name them.
  I'm sure nothing will go wrong. Corporations would certainly learn from the last time they got caught up in cloning dinosaurs.

Let's not invent new dinosaurs. That seems like a terrible idea.

I would suggest that this is a typo <will create the dinosaur of your price for a very reasonable price, allowing you to wow your friends and punish your enemies with your new dino-pal.> except that I suspect price IS the deciding factor in creating the dinosaur. This is a great article! I'm loving the twists of Megacorpolis!

I love the ideas of dinos having already devastated the city but people still being in love with them XD

Of course they'd make dinos in Megacorpolis! Lots of fun!
