Kind of weird, considering they're a major competitor, but so what? Why is this something they need to "admit"?
Stuff like this will be used in the anti monopoly cases going on world wide.
I'm all for reigning in monopolies, but I actually don't see how this is anticompetitive.
How? Special back door secret deals for one and only one company is the definition of anticompetitive.
Competition is defined as more than one lol
Edit: I'm special, I am first place! But if you knew it was 1st place of one... I sure hope you think me as noncompetitive....🤣 It's strange to me to think I'm competitive if I have no competitors.
