bandcamp had already been sold to epic games a while back.
seems like epic are now selling it off.
epic have been making staff cutbacks in other areas as well recently. -
I had one of the really early free Spotify accounts with an advert once in a blue moon. I revisited it about 5 years ago and its position of “you will listen to what we tell you” made me can it for good. We use Bandcamp and still buy CDs

I know it's not really big news but bandcamp is being sold off. Hope it doesn't change too much Its a great site for music.
Half of their staff have left including half the editorial staff. A big part of what made the site so good was the editorial section, highlighting unknown gems, doing features and retrospectives on artists or overviews on particular genres to help you dip in, so yeah, I fear for the worst. I expect they will start to squeeze artists cut and that will be the end of what made it good.

Probably a good idea to ensure you have downloaded all of your purchases soonish.
