This is shit news.

I love bandcamp, I don't feel this move will make me love it more tbh :mjcry
-
My band friends are not happy about this. Apparently Bandcamp was the last bastion of artistic control for musicians and Epic gonna Epic it most likely.

Now I want to eat Wendy's. I miss Frosties and their garbo chili and square hamburgers. I even enjoyed their fries.
Japan had legit Wendy's for my first 10 years here, then they disappeared. Next, the brand was licensed by First Kitchen, but their burgers are entirely wrong.

This will all end in corporate singularity. Eventually everything will be owned by one entity.
The ultimate move will probably be Yum Brands swallowing up Disney.

bandcamp is an extremely light website that some coders could knock out a clone of in a week and was built on the good will of the community.
now it's just another corpo asset it can get fucked.

Any reasonable alternatives or is it just a matter of wait and see?

If you're only interested in lossless then there are fewer stores to choose from but some are below.
For a mix of releases including some obscurities but mostly electronic/moody leaning genres see Bleep.com (https://bleep.com), who have good taste (a variety of artists I follow release both on bandcamp and Bleep), also Boomkat.com (https://boomkat.com/) is in a vaguely similar vein (though I rarely visit the latter). For electronic exclusives see Junodownload (https://www.junodownload.com/).
For generalized, more popular music see hdtracks (https://www.hdtracks.com/), 7digital (https://us.7digital.com/), or even Tidal if one can rip it.
For Japanese music see Ototoy (http://ototoy.jp/), though it's overpriced for some things.
There's also label-specific stores that offer lossless (and can be cheaper than buying from third-party stores). One's I can think of off the top of my head:
- Ninjatune (https://ninjatune.net/home)
- Tokyo Dawn Records (https://www.tokyodawn.net)
For video game OSTs there's a lack of lossless choices outside of Steam/GOG or physical CD (and obviously bandcamp) but GOG generally are good at mentioning if a release or DLC includes the lossless soundtrack.

Disgusting.

Pretty much interested in metal. Don't care for lossless really.
