\n Epic Game<\/a>s to acquire Bandcamp <\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Unreal Engine and Fortnite<\/em> developer Epic Games will acquire Bandcamp, the company announced<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Under Epic Games, Bandcamp will continue to operate as a standalone marketplace and music community, as well as be led by co-founder and CEO Ethan Diamond.<\/p>\n

\u201cBandcamp\u2019s mission is to help spread the healing power of music by building a community where artists thrive through the direct support of their fans,\u201d said Diamond in a press release. \u201cIn Epic, we\u2019ve found a partner who believes as deeply as we do that the future of music, and art itself, depends on the creation of equitable and inclusive communities like the one our fans and artists have helped to build. We\u2019re excited to work alongside the Epic team to accelerate the realization of our mission and pursue our shared goal of empowering more creators in a fair and open way.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n Epic Games Store vice president and general<\/a> manager Steve Allison added, \u201cWe couldn\u2019t be more excited to welcome the Bandcamp team to Epic Games. Bandcamp has built an incredible community and business where up and coming artists can succeed thanks to the direct support of their fans, with one of the best revenue models and terms in music. This aligns closely with Epic\u2019s app<\/a>roach to supporting creators across all media<\/a> and enabling them to connect directly with their fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here is the full message<\/a> from Diamond on the acquisition:<\/p>\n

\n

I\u2019m excited to announce that Bandcamp is joining Epic Games, who you may know as the makers of Fortnite<\/em> and Unreal Engine, and champions for a fair and open Internet.<\/p>\n

Bandcamp will keep operating as a standalone marketplace and music community, and I will continue to lead our team. The products and services you depend on aren\u2019t going anywhere, we\u2019ll continue to build Bandcamp around our artists-first revenue model (where artists net an average of 82 percent of every sale), you\u2019ll 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\u2019re 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.<\/p>\n

Since our founding in 2008, we\u2019ve been motivated by the pursuit of our mission, which is to help spread the healing power of music by building a community where artists thrive through the direct support of their fans. That simple idea has worked well, with payments to artists and labels closing in on $1 billion USD. And while over the years we\u2019ve heard from other companies who wanted us to join them, we\u2019ve always felt that doing so would only be exciting if they strongly believed in our mission, were aligned with our values, and not only wanted to see Bandcamp continue, but also wanted to provide the resources to bring a lot more benefit to the artists, labels, and fans who use the site. Epic ticks all those boxes. We share a vision of building the most open, artist-friendly ecosystem in the world, and together we\u2019ll be able to create even more opportunities for artists to be compensated fairly for their work.<\/p>\n

Whether you joined Bandcamp recently or have been with us since the beginning 14 years ago, thank you for being a part of this incredible community, and we look forward to serving you for many years to come!<\/p>\n
