Marvel Snap's US Removal Following TikTok Ban

The weekend brought unwelcome news for Marvel Snap fans in the United States. Following the TikTok ban, publisher ByteDance, also the parent company of Marvel Snap developer Second Dinner, has pulled the popular card game from US app stores. This appears to be a form of protest against the 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 action could be interpreted as "malicious compliance," effectively galvanizing Marvel Snap players into reacting against the political decision.

The removal of Marvel Snap and other ByteDance apps is likely to continue fueling controversy. While the political impact remains uncertain, the lack of prior warning from ByteDance suggests a deliberate attempt to generate a strong fan reaction.

For a detailed understanding of the ban, consult the official Congressional website. Players outside the US can still access the game and utilize our Marvel Snap card tier list to build powerful decks. The future availability of Marvel Snap in the US remains uncertain.
