Bandcamp UnitedToday, Epic Games’ sale of Bandcamp to Songtradr closed and at least half of Bandcamp’s staff was laid off. This is heartbreaking. We love our jobs, the platform we’ve built, and the Bandcamp community. We’re glad we have our union — coworkers who have each other’s backs. We’ll be moving together to decide our next steps. On Wednesday we return to the bargaining table with Epic Games, and we’ll keep you updated. Love and solidarity to the whole Bandcamp community. Thank you for your support.

@bandcampunited absolutely gutted to see the last bastion of proper indie and purchased digital music compromised like this.
I wish you all good bargaining, knowing your audience is behind you and not the corporate shills trying to purge the very soul out of it by laying off who makes Bandcamp awesome.
I'm actually half hoping the laid-off staff start their own platform that takes all the good stuff from Bandcamp with it, but I'm assuming that's not in the pipeline.
