Marvel Snap Goes Offline in the US along with Other Apps

Marvel Snap's US Shutdown: A ByteDance Fallout?

The recent US ban on Marvel Snap isn't an isolated incident. It coincides with the high-profile ban of TikTok, and the two are undeniably linked. Let's delve into the details.

The Reason Behind the Ban

Marvel Snap, along with Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and CapCut, has been removed from US app stores. The common thread? All are owned by ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok. Given the intense scrutiny TikTok faces from US lawmakers regarding national security and data privacy, ByteDance appears to have proactively pulled these apps to preempt a broader crackdown.

A Potential Return?

While the future remains uncertain, there's optimism that TikTok might return, at least temporarily. If that happens, it's plausible that the other ByteDance-owned apps, including Marvel Snap, could also find their way back onto US app stores.

The Stakes Are High

The US market represents a significant portion of the player base and revenue for these Chinese-owned companies. A permanent ban would have severe financial repercussions.

The Verdict?

The fate of Marvel Snap in the US remains undecided. For now, we await further developments. Players outside the US can continue enjoying the game, readily available on the Google Play Store.
