Marvel Snap goes offline in the United States in the wake of TikTok ban

  • Marvel Snap has been pulled from release in the United States in the wake of the TikTok ban
  • TikTok’s publisher and developer, ByteDance, is also the parent company of devs Second Dinner
  • It’s unclear when, if ever, Snap will return to mobile

This weekend is shaping up to be significant for Marvel Snap enthusiasts, but unfortunately not in a positive sense. The reason being, following the ban on TikTok, its publisher ByteDance has also withdrawn several of their game releases, possibly as a form of protest. Regrettably, this action affects Marvel Snap, the popular comic-themed card battler, as well.

People who follow current political events closely are aware that the TikTok ban has been making headlines because of claims from American politicians that it is controlled by foreign adversaries. However, it’s important to note that the ban isn’t just about TikTok; it also applies to any apps developed by ByteDance and its affiliated companies.

In a way unforeseen by politicians, ByteDance’s abrupt action could be seen as a subtle form of defiance. It appears to have effectively stirred up anger among Marvel Snap enthusiasts, who might otherwise have overlooked this political act.

There’s hardly any question that the removal of Marvel Snap, along with other apps from ByteDance, will spark quite a fury among fans. As for whether this will cause significant political repercussions, it remains uncertain, but from a more skeptical perspective, I might speculate that ByteDance’s lack of prior notice could have been strategic to create a shock factor, inciting fans to openly express their discontent.
