Epic Games owned BandCamp? What the fuck?

We’re divesting Bandcamp and spinning off most of SuperAwesome.

Does that mean BandCamp is practically dead?

They only bought bandcamp last year, and now they’re selling it to “Songtradr”. What that means for bandcamp I couldn’t say but I can’t imagine it’s good

Maybe a chance for similar stores like Jamendo to step up their game and market themselves as an alternative.

Good question. One that Epic needs to answer.
