  The Metaverse (Epic has hosted music events in Fortnite that have had millions of attendees), diversifying their game store. They've also bought art and 3D asset companies recently.

  Perhaps Epic originally wanted to purchase itch.io but couldn't settle on a deal so they went to the O.G. instead?

  Presumably game creators will be able to purchase bandcamp music from right within Unreal soon. You already can purchase a variety of things like textures, models, code, etc.
