Marvel Snap, the popular card battler from Second Dinner, is back online in the US after a tumultuous period stemming from the TikTok ban impacting its publisher, ByteDance. The abrupt service interruption, accompanied by a "banned" message, reportedly caught Second Dinner off guard.
This incident has led Second Dinner to announce its search for a new publisher, a significant blow to Nuverse (ByteDance's subsidiary) following the game's successful 2022 launch. The developer's social media channels reflect considerable player frustration over lost login rewards and disrupted gameplay.
Second Dinner's decision to actively seek a new publishing partner underscores the behind-the-scenes fallout from ByteDance's seemingly unilateral decision to pull its gaming titles without prior notice. Finding a new publisher could take months or even years, leaving Second Dinner hoping to avoid similar disruptions in the future.
