      I imagine it’s because they wanted more music for Fortnite events. Probably wanted that Rocket League soundtrack clout

        What are you talking about?

        Epic isn’t the one laying people off, the owner of band camp is

          I’m hypothesizing as to why epic bought it to begin with

              If you would have read the more than the subtitle, you would know that it was indeed Epic who did this.

                Additionally they should have read the comment I was responding to

      They had more money than sense. Now they have no more money and Bandcamp wasn’t ever profitable.
