        1. Epic bought Bandcamp??

        wonder if this means they'll make the mobile app good (I don't think this is a likely outcome)

      makes me think... if a team started now on making a platform co-op to take the place Bandcamp currently has, I reckon they could have the software and infrastructure ready to go by the time Bandcamp Our Incredible Journey-s itself away.

    my thoughts are with everyone who currently makes some part of their living via Bandcamp

      had forgotten Epic bought out Artstation as well. going big on "content", I guess, "stuff people like consuming online". music and pictures and games. maybe they'll buy Wattpad or something next. collect the set.

        really the numbers I most want to know are: - was Bandcamp profitable? - how much has Epic offered itch to sell?

          guess I should look at @resonatecoop & @ampl3d (tho both do complicated things with their purchase model, rather than just "buy some mp3s") @v21/1499079115563061249

            this is a reasonable and contrary take on Bandcamp. either way, it definitely says that it is a good time to start a Bandcamp rival. components.one/documentation/epic-bandcamp-acquisition (also the top 25 chart in there is fascinating)
