Let's hope that bandcamp stays like that for a while, I've been worrying for it's future since it was bought by Epic Games

DW, you can just pirate releases and throw money towards your preferred artist after the fact, that's arguably more fair than bandcamp anyway.

Epic actually sold Bandcamp to another corporation last year. I'm also quite worry, but they added a few nice features and didn't change the revenu model , so far so good.
