Quite simply, Paramount was offering more dollars per share as part of its offer.
So we thought, well, look, we're in for a months-long saga where everyone's trying to up their bids, a bidding war.
But now Netflix has just said, nope, we're out, that's enough.
And it looks like it's all Paramount's, basically.
Right, so money talks in this deal.
It's a bigger deal if Paramount win.
Why did Netflix pull out, though?
I mean, it seems like they still were in with a shot, no?
Yes, so money talks, but that's not the whole picture with this because there's also politics at stake.
So on the face of it, Netflix has said, we just don't want to up our offer.
We just don't want to carry on.
It's just not worth our while.
Netflix, though, realistically could have upped its offer.
You know, it could have afforded to match Paramount, really, and to exceed Paramount.
What's interesting is that Ted Sarandos, so he's the co-chief executive of Netflix, he was at the White House yesterday.
He was meeting with Susie Wiles, Donald Trump's chief of staff.
We don't know what was said in that meeting, but clearly this decision has come straight off the back of that meeting.
And the fact of the matter is that Paramount Skydance is backed by Larry Ellison and David Ellison.
They are big Trump supporters, big donators to his political campaigns.
And there has always been this swirling inference that they were the preferred bidders because quite simply, you know, they are Trump allies.
