Pelialalla suuret firmat ovat ostaneet paitsi toisia studioita itselleen, he ovat ajan kanssa laajentaneet myös viihteen muille aloille. Nyt sitten Epic Games on hankkinut itselleen amerikkalaisen verkkomusiikkifirma Bandcampin. Toiminta jatkuu edelleen itsenäisenä, ja asia varmistui lehdistötiedotteessa.
Mitä Epic Games sitten aikoo ostoksellaan tehdä? Se jää nähtäväksi.
"Bandcamp will keep operating as a standalone marketplace and music community. [...] The products and services you depend on aren't going anywhere, we'll continue to build Bandcamp around our artists-first revenue model (where artists net an average of 82% of every sale), you'll still have the same control over how you offer your music, Bandcamp Fridays will continue as planned, and the Daily will keep highlighting the diverse, amazing music on the site. However, behind the scenes we're working with Epic to expand internationally and push development forward across Bandcamp, from basics like our album pages, mobile apps, merch tools, payment system, and search and discovery features, to newer initiatives like our vinyl pressing and live streaming services."
