Unexpected and collateral damage during the TikTok ban, Marvel Snap developers want to ensure it doesn't happen again. The Latest Tech News, Delivered to Your Inbox

Marvel Snap is back online in the U.S. following a brief absence in association with the TikTok ban. The popular card battle game created by California-based developer Second Dinner was temporarily pulled from American app stores on Jan.

Marvel Snap is back online, but the game's developers are now seeking out a new publisher to ensure another shutdown never happens again.

Marvel Snap is once again available to users in the United States, following the aftermath of the TikTok ban and the actions against ByteDance, but it still isn't on Apple's App Store.

The divest-or-ban law aimed at TikTok is also taking down other ByteDance-linked apps, including the popular card game Marvel Snap. The app suddenly cut off access Saturday night, seemingly without warning, surprising gamers who weren’t aware of its connection to ByteDance.

The Marvel Comics digital game counts Nuverse as its publisher, which like TikTok is owned by the Chinese conglomerate ByteDance.

Marvel Snap has now been banned in the US alongside TikTok, thanks to an association with the social media platform's parent company ByteDance, catching players off guard.

Digital collectible card game 'Marvel Snap' was shut down in the U.S., a casualty of the government ban targeting TikTok.

After nearly two days of outages–longer than TikTok itself was down in the U.S.–developer Second Dinner says changes are being made to avoid Snap being caught by future potential action against Bytedance.

When TikTok disappeared over the weekend nobody was surprised. Its U.S. ban had been bouncing around Congress and the courts for over a year. But when Marvel Snap disappeared too fans and the devs alike were shocked.
