Marvel Snap Offline in US Amid TikTok Ban

Apr 18,2025 Author: Hannah

It's turning out to be a challenging weekend for fans of Marvel Snap, but unfortunately, not for the reasons they'd hoped. In response to the recent ban on the social media app TikTok, ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok and developer Second Dinner, has decided to pull several of their gaming titles from release in the United States. This move has notably affected the popular comic-themed card battler, Marvel Snap.

The TikTok ban, driven by concerns from American politicians labeling it a "foreign adversary controlled application," extends beyond just TikTok to include any applications published by ByteDance and its subsidiaries. This broader political action has inadvertently caught Marvel Snap in its crossfire.

ByteDance's decision to pull their games can be seen as a form of protest or even malicious compliance against the ban. By doing so, they've effectively shifted the spotlight onto the political decision, rallying Marvel Snap fans to voice their frustrations and possibly influencing public opinion.

ytDisassembledThe removal of Marvel Snap and other ByteDance-owned apps is likely to stir significant discontent among fans. Whether this will have a political impact remains uncertain, but the lack of advance warning from ByteDance could be a strategic move to amplify fan outrage and pressure.

For those interested in the details of the ban, the official text is available on the Congress website, offering a deeper understanding of the legislative action.
