I could honestly care less about the video games, but the Bandcamp news is devastating. Is there anywhere else where you can buy lossless DRM-free music?

Gaming is worth FOUR times of movies. If you for some reason think mobile gaming is not gaming, it is still worth TWICE of Hollywood. You should care more about gaming. Hollywood is dying and AI will make it die faster. Gaming is the future of entertaiment.

Buddy look, I have played video games my entire life, but video games are not going to ever be the only form of entertainment.

Music has always, ALWAYS held the highest rung of entertainment and expression in my life. I could give less a shit about the hole Epic Games is digging for themselves.

Without music, I legitimately have no reason to live. The creation and observation of music has given me motivation and purpose in life in ways that nothing else has ever done.
