Marvel Snap's US Shutdown: A ByteDance Fallout?
The recent removal of Marvel Snap from US app stores coincides with the US ban on TikTok, raising questions about a potential connection. The answer is yes, they are linked. Here's why.
The US ban affects more than just Marvel Snap. Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and CapCut have also been pulled. The common thread? All three are owned by ByteDance, TikTok's parent company. ByteDance is facing intense scrutiny from US lawmakers regarding national security and data privacy concerns. This preemptive app removal appears to be a strategic move to mitigate a broader crackdown.
While there's speculation of a potential, albeit temporary, TikTok return, the fate of other ByteDance apps, including Marvel Snap, remains uncertain. The US market represents a substantial portion of these companies' player base and revenue, making a prolonged ban a significant blow.
For now, the future of Marvel Snap in the US is unclear. Players outside the US can continue enjoying the game via the Google Play Store. We await further developments and hope for a resolution.
