Marvel Snap Offline in US, Affecting Other Apps

Marvel Snap's US Shutdown: A ByteDance Fallout?

The recent offline status of Marvel Snap in the US is linked to the broader ban of TikTok, both owned by ByteDance. This isn't a coincidence; the connection is direct. Let's delve into the details.

Why the US Ban?

Marvel Snap wasn't alone; Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and CapCut also faced the same fate. The common thread? All are ByteDance properties. Given the intense scrutiny TikTok is under from US lawmakers regarding national security and data privacy, ByteDance's proactive removal of these apps seems a preemptive measure to avoid a wider regulatory crackdown.

A Potential Comeback?

While there's speculation of a possible, albeit temporary, TikTok return, this could pave the way for other ByteDance apps, including Marvel Snap, to reappear on US app stores. The significant US market share and revenue these apps generate for the Chinese company make a permanent ban a risky proposition.

The Future of Marvel Snap in the US

The future remains uncertain. Whether the ban will be lifted is currently unknown. For now, we await further developments. Players outside the US can continue enjoying the game via the Google Play Store.
