With googles history of killing stuff , I don't want my free games library to die ๐
I love the passionate anger.
Hold up sir/madam, is Bandcamp actually dead or is it still kicking? I used to frequent it until the Epic Buyout and honestly haven't kept up with their goings on. The fact that they bought it just to hold on to it is just ludicrous to me tho, like, they couldn't find ANYTHING to do with it? Nothing at all? Really?
I see. So it's less "it's dead" and more "it's on life support with slim chances to recover".
sigh as naive as the hope is, i really want it to make a comeback. It most likely won't, but I wanna be proven wrong.
That's the beauty of allowing gaming companies to deliver everything digitally over the internet! All of our digitally purchased goods are one bad quarter of earnings or new CEO desparate to impress an executive board away from having an arbitrary expiration date put upon them. And we will have no recourse other than a class-action lawsuit where each person recoups pennies for each good purchased or mandatory arbitration where we get nothing!
They'll likely charge a small amount for a subscription to access your free games.
