After the U.S. ban on TikTok, an unexpectedly unavailable app in the U.S. turned out to be Marvel Snap. This digital card game was developed by a U.S. studio called Second Dinner, but it’s published by a Chinese game company, Nuverse, which is part of Byte Dance, TikTok’s owner.
Marvel Snap is an unexpected casualty of the US TikTok ban
The long-anticipated ban of TikTok by the U.S. government took effect on January 19th, making it unavailable for American users. Interestingly, this action seems to have led to the banning of other apps as well, such as Marvel Snap – a widely played digital card game. Many users have reported being unable to access the game on their mobile devices and through Steam.
The developer of Snap, Second Dinner, posted to X/Twitter, explaining that
Sorry gamers, it seems Marvel Snap is currently missing from U.S. app stores and I can’t join the action right now. This unexpected downtime wasn’t part of the plan, but rest assured, Marvel Snap isn’t disappearing. We’re tirelessly working behind the scenes to get the game back up and running as soon as possible. I’ll keep you posted with any updates!
As I write this, it’s important to note that the game is currently on a temporary hiatus in the US, but TikTok has made its comeback. For those of us who are passionate about the game, there’s still a glimmer of hope. The developer appears optimistic, describing the situation as the game being “temporarily unavailable,” rather than imposing a permanent ban.
It remains uncertain why the Marvel Snap incident is linked to the US TikTok ban, and it’s particularly puzzling that this turn of events caught the game developers off guard. In their public announcement regarding the downtime, the developers do not once refer to TikTok or the ban. However, given the unusual circumstances, one can’t help but wonder if this could be a mere coincidence. As events unfold, we’ll have to wait and see if any new information emerges in the near future.
