These decisions take time to make. Not sure when the union efforts started though - but not sure how likely this would be as a result of those efforts..

Bandcamp workers voted in favor of a union in March 16th of this year. It was one year and a week after Epic acquired the company.

It's impossible to know what Epic is thinking know, or even when they bought BC, but 6 months sounds like how long it would take to sell Bandcamp off as a retaliation for unionizing.
