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 enthusiasts: the game's removal from US app stores. This action, taken by publisher ByteDance (also parent company of Second Dinner, Marvel Snap's developer), appears to be a response to the TikTok 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 swift removal of its games, including Marvel Snap, could be interpreted as a form of protest or, cynically, a calculated move to maximize the impact on users and draw attention to the ban.

The removal is likely to spark considerable backlash from players. While the political ramifications remain uncertain, the lack of advance notice suggests a deliberate strategy to amplify user frustration and encourage public outcry.

For a clearer understanding of the ban, consult the official Congressional website. Players outside the affected regions can still access our Marvel Snap card tier list to build optimal decks. The future availability of Marvel Snap in the US remains uncertain.
