i'm sure it's uh
fine

This news answers some questions posed in the thread below:

http://www.sputnikmusic.com/news/43736/Epic-Games-Acquires-Bandcamp/

so, essentially, they’re attempting to add in licensing functions to bandcamp so that content creators can license their music for things like movies and games?

that doesn’t necessarily sound like a bad thing, as long as the original content creators are receiving a majority of the money from those licenses. someone can correct me if I’m understanding this wrong.

^^Apart from the licensing functions, I think that Epic traded Bandcamp so as to access it later on, along with Songtradr's clientele.

And yeah, neither is necessarily bad for Bandcamp and its community.

didnt Epic purchase bandcamp or was that soundcloud?

Epic had to lay off 800 employees so I'm sure this is a part of their company reconstruction.

'fortnite radio'

do i even want to know

Kinda like the radio in gta but it's in fortnite. Don't have to pay license fees if you own the platform. *Taps forehead*

remember when Epic bought them years ago and this site was like awww the sky is falling and nothing changed.

-- years ago

It happened in 2022

Man, GTA radio was actually pretty solid.

oh yeah you right my bad.
