Bought bandcamp just to shelf it? Thanks.
that's not what the word means, they are selling it to Songtradr.
Good thing they removed the e from trader, they must save so much money on branding.
Guess it help with SEO
I know they're not literally throwing it out, if that's what you thought I meant. I know they're selling it to someone else, but how often does this result in a good outcome? I'm predicting this is the start of the end of bandcamp. It wasn't even good to begin with, but it was the only unified place to buy music.
I found this article which states
The company is also selling Bandcamp to a music licensing company called Songtradr...
I didn't know about their ownership in the first place.
Yep, that sale was relatively new. Like, in the last year and a half.
Did that with Infinity Blade (Chair) as well because it was ‘competing for users’ apparently.
