Marvel Snap, the popular card battler from Second Dinner, is back online in the US after a tumultuous period. However, the developer's relationship with its current publisher, Nuverse (a ByteDance subsidiary), appears fractured, leading Second Dinner to actively seek a new publishing partner.
The game's temporary unavailability stemmed from the recent TikTok ban impacting ByteDance's operations. Second Dinner reportedly lacked prior notice of this action, which resulted in a disruptive "banned" message for US players.
This unexpected disruption has understandably angered Second Dinner. Social media reveals a surge of player complaints regarding missed login rewards and event participation. The decision to actively search for a new publisher underscores the depth of this discontent.
The fallout from ByteDance's decision to pull its gaming titles without warning has proven costly. Securing a new publisher could take considerable time, and the priority now is preventing similar incidents. Meanwhile, players can resume their Marvel Snap battles, and may find our comprehensive card tier list a valuable resource.
