Marvel Snap's US Shutdown: A ByteDance Fallout?
The recent offline status of Marvel Snap in the US coincides with the ban of TikTok, raising questions about a potential connection. The answer is yes, they are linked. Here's why.
The US ban affects not only Marvel Snap, but also Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and CapCut. These apps, along with TikTok, share a common owner: ByteDance. Given the intense scrutiny TikTok faces from US lawmakers regarding national security and data privacy, ByteDance appears to have proactively removed these apps to preempt a broader ban.
While there's optimism for TikTok's potential return, even if temporary, this could pave the way for ByteDance's other apps, including Marvel Snap, to reappear on US app stores. The US market represents a significant portion of revenue and player base for these Chinese-owned companies, making a permanent ban across all their apps highly detrimental.
The future of Marvel Snap in the US remains uncertain. For now, we await further developments. Players outside the US can continue enjoying the game via the Google Play Store.
