- CameronNemo 4y agoYeah luckily I've not noticed any major changes. Hopefully Epic continues to let them do their thing. It really is a one of a kind service in our current media landscape.
- esperent 4y ago> They bought it over a year ago. Where ya been? Enjoying my life, working on things that inspire me, not following tedious news about tech industry mergers and acquisitions. Not dismissing the news as unimportant, it is important. It's just boring and I wish we lived in a world where everything good wasn't subsumed into soulless corporate behemoths. So far Epic still seems to have a tiny bit of soul. But that'll gradually fade as it does with every huge company and in ten or fifteen years it'll be another Adobe/Autodesk.
- ryantgtg 4y agoHeh. I’ve been enjoying my life, as well, and also buying things from Bandcamp. And each time I do for the last year it says “Receipt for Your Payment to Bandcamp, an Epic Company.” Anyway I don’t want to bore you, but yes I agree that less mergers would be nice. And the bandcamp news was very worrisome, and I’m sure at some point things will turn to shit.
- jszymborski 4y agoStill downloading from Bandcamp. Instead of paying $10+/mo for a streaming service, I spend $10+ on an album each month. I first check the band/label website to see if they have a download. I then use bandcamp if the band is smaller and on there, falling back on 7digital or HDTracks when they are larger and not. All to say is, I just didn't know they were bought by epic, I just usually get linked to artist pages
