I can't say I'm surprised. Honestly, thought it would have happened sooner. But all good things end. Death nail in Bandcamp. Time for a competitor.

Was trying to dig up roughly how much it sold for but couldn't find the figure.

Bandcamp's novelty has begun it's decline. First update to TOS since they sold out to EPIC.

Seems like they're clamping down extra hard on Covers, now.

One of the things that made it unique and rogue. Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-changes.

I understood they were aiming at giving covers more attention. Now I know they do not want covers anymore?

I wonder if old computer music covers or remixes can stay. I only can think of d4xx on Bandcamp. The search features on bandcamp are really bad. I have not been able to find anything worthwhile yet.

Bandcamp's search function has always been terrible. Maybe that will be the one saving grace with the Epic acquisition. I've always just used a search engine to find "music site:bandcamp.com"

Follow up to my previous statement about hoping the search would get better possibly with Epic's purchase. Turns out nope, they some how made it worse.


Anyway, this story techcrunch.com/2022/05/23/epic-games-bandcamp-temporarily-wins-right-to-use-its-own-payments-system-on-google-play/ caught my attention.

Even though it sounds like a win, reading between the lines, makes me think that the shift towards ruining Bandcamp is in full swing.
