TIL Epic Games owned Bandcamp
- Now did you know bandcamp unionized shortly before they were sold off?
  
  Is this true?
- Right?! They could've lead with that
- Did you know that epic forgot that they bought for a over a year?
- Same, little pieces of my brain are in the screen right now.
whaaaat, when did epic buy bandcamp?? I think the end game of these decades of corpo buyouts is going to be every single corporate entity across all sectors buying eachother out until all that remains is one super-corporation. Were getting close to there already.
- Early last year. They didn't seem to do anything with it that I noticed.
- We’re headed towards the Disnoverse
  
  TFW Disney buys out Lockheed Martin and puts the micky mouse symbol on all weapons, ammunition, and military property
I'm hoping they get their union and I can go back to buying music again because fuck Epic.
