Marvel Snap Returns, Second Dinner Seeks New Publisher Amid Discontent

After a challenging 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 TikTok ban that impacted its publisher, ByteDance. However, it seems that Second Dinner was not informed about the sudden decision to halt service, which included a stark warning message stating that the app had been "banned."

As Second Dinner continues to manage the fallout and respond to player grievances, they have also announced their intention to find a new publisher. This development represents a significant setback for Nuverse, a ByteDance subsidiary, which has been the publisher behind the successful 2022 launch of Marvel Snap, a game that blends iconic Marvel comic heroes with fast-paced card battles.

Dinner timeBy now, you may have read my opinion piece on this topic (and if not, where have you been?). I highlighted that ByteDance's decision to abruptly remove both TikTok and several of its gaming titles, with little to no prior notice for the latter, was likely to have negative repercussions.

Second Dinner's frustration is evident, as their social media channels are flooded with complaints from players who missed out on log-in rewards and event gameplay. The announcement of seeking a new publisher further underscores the tension and dissatisfaction behind the scenes.

It may take months or even years to secure a new publisher. In the interim, the hope is that there won't be a recurrence of the recent incident.
