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

Marvel Snap's US Removal Following TikTok Ban

The weekend brought unwelcome news for Marvel Snap fans in the United States. Following the TikTok ban, publisher ByteDance, also the parent company of Marvel Snap developer Second Dinner, has pulled the popular card game from the US app stores. This appears to be a form of protest against the ban.

The TikTok ban, driven by concerns from US politicians about its potential as a "foreign adversary controlled application," extends to all apps published by ByteDance and its subsidiaries. ByteDance's action could be interpreted as a calculated move, leveraging the removal of Marvel Snap to galvanize fan outrage and opposition to the ban. The lack of advance warning further fuels speculation of intentional provocation.

The removal of Marvel Snap is generating significant backlash from players. While the political impact remains uncertain, the abrupt removal and lack of communication from ByteDance suggest a deliberate strategy to amplify the controversy.
