Good to see Google finally doing this. Amazon anti competitive behavior had to be checked. Amazon banned Chromecast and Apple TV from their marketplace 2 years ago. That day Google and Apple should have removed Amazon app from their stores.
Google created the Chromecast and within a year added YouTube to the Roku. Versus a couple weeks ago Amazon pulled Twitch from the Roku.
Hope this straightens out Amazon. Big Amazon customer and fan of the company but their behavior is just awful and so unnessary as they won ecommerce and cloud.
- vinay427 9y agoThis isn't quite fair. Google makes it virtually impossible for Amazon to add support to cast from its own devices (Kindle Fire, etc.). This is likely part of why Amazon added a Prime Video app for Android but refuses to allow casting support for other Android devices when its own devices cannot use it. I don't, however, agree with Amazon's decision to not sell devices without Prime Video support. I don't think the case they make that customers will expect Prime Video support holds much merit. In any case, the Apple TV is expected to return now that the Prime Video app has been released on that platform. I would like to see Chromecast support added to Prime Video, which is easiest if both sides concede slightly.
- now_l93 9y agoFinally, someone's punishing an anti-competitive company with anti competition! Wait, sorry. I don't understand what we're supposed to be cheering for? How is any of this good for consumers?
