Sony's PlayStation Video app can't cast anymore

Chromecast compatibility was dropped ahead of a general service shutdown in August

Most of the time when an app gets updated, it's either fixing something that went wrong or adding in something new. The latest update to Sony's official PlayStation video app doesn't fall into either of those two categories. The sole change to the app, according to the changelog on the Play Store, is "Chromecast support has been removed." What?

Before you complain in the comments about the fact that all of these apps added Chromecast compatibility weeks ago... well, I suppose there's no power in the 'verse that can stop you. We reported that the TED Talks app got Chromecast powers back in November, but apparently Google's Chrome blog just spotted that today, and the Pac-12 app got it back in February. Qello Concerts? It was enabled on March 18th. In fact the only truly newly-equipped app in Google's post is MTV.
