lol, why'd they buy them then?

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

Epic sold it, read the article. Its literally the subtitle

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

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