And also at a certain point, I guess like.

HBO wanted to, Warner Brothers wanted to go with like Netflix.

They're like a little swankier than Paramount.

Of course.

Like the Netflix family.

But at a certain point, they can't not take the most money deal because like for their shareholders, it's like, well, the money is green.

When you're a publicly traded company, you legally have to take the best financial offer.

So that's why it got so...

And then became hostile at one point.

Yes, hostile takeover.

There was hostility.

So like for Netflix, like yeah, it would have been nice to have all these HBO shows, but Netflix is so far above all the other streamers in terms of subscribers.

I think they're like crawling towards 300 million users and everybody else is like barely has 100 million.

So for them, like yes, it would have been nice.

They didn't need to pay an insane price for it and that's what the CEO is saying and he's right for that.

Whereas Paramount, like they were very much like on the precipice of dropping out of the streaming wars.

Like I don't know anybody who like actively watches Paramount+.

Yes, now it's game on.

Now it's game on.

I like another big, you know, this is great for the consumer, I feel.
