Marvel Snap Returns, Second Dinner Seeks New Publisher Amidst Discontent

After a tense few days, Second Dinner's popular card game, Marvel Snap, is once again accessible in the United States. The game was temporarily unavailable due to the ripple effects of the TikTok ban on its publisher, ByteDance. However, it seems Second Dinner was not informed about the sudden cessation of service, which included a stark warning message labeling the app as "banned."

As Second Dinner continues to manage the fallout and address player concerns, they have made a significant announcement: they are now in the process of seeking a new publisher. This development marks a major blow for Nuverse, ByteDance's subsidiary, which has been at the helm of publishing this top-tier title since its well-received launch in 2022, featuring beloved Marvel characters in dynamic card battles.

Dinner Time

As many of you may have read in my recent opinion piece (and if you haven't, what are you waiting for?), I highlighted the potential repercussions of ByteDance's abrupt decision to not only pull TikTok but also several of its gaming titles with little to no warning. This move, seemingly initiated by ByteDance, could backfire significantly.

Second Dinner's frustration is palpable, evident from the flood of angry player feedback on social media regarding missed log-in rewards and disrupted event gameplay. Their decision to actively seek a new publisher underscores the depth of their dissatisfaction with the recent events.

Finding a new publisher might take months or even years, but the hope is that such disruptions will not recur in the interim.
