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), has soured, leading Second Dinner to actively seek a new publishing partner.
The game's temporary unavailability stemmed from the recent TikTok ban impacting ByteDance, a move that apparently bypassed Second Dinner without prior notification. The abrupt service interruption, accompanied by a "banned" warning message, sparked significant player outrage and frustration.
Second Dinner's decision to publicly search for a new publisher underscores the depth of their dissatisfaction with the situation. The developer's social media channels reflect a flood of angry player comments regarding missed login rewards and disrupted gameplay.
Finding a new publisher could take months, even years. The immediate priority is to prevent a recurrence of this incident. Meanwhile, players eager to return to the game can consult helpful resources like our comprehensive Marvel Snap card tier list to optimize their gameplay.
