They refuse to make the Prime Video app available on the Play Store, they refuse to add Chromecast support, and now they refuse to even sell Chromecast because of their own decision to not support it? I've just canceled my Prime subscription and I hope a few others do as well.
Just canceled mine as well. I've been uneasy because of all of the working conditions issues (especially in the warehouses). Kind of appalled with myself that this is what it took for me to act on it.
You need 2 apps to run Prime Video, which I believe it's just called Amazon Video now.
You need the amazon appstore app, to install it, and you need amazon shopping app installed to run it (have no idea why). It works fine on android once you have installed all the amazon bs, but last time i checked the app wasn't very good on iOS.
I think you're confusing Google with Apple. The Play Store's policies are much more reasonable, and allow third party payment processors for purchasing digital items that can be consumed outside of the app itself. In fact, here's a third party video store on the Play Store [1], and here's Amazon's own Prime Music app [2].
