Marvel Snap, the popular card battler from Second Dinner, is back online in the US after a tumultuous period. However, the developer's relationship with its current publisher, Nuverse (a ByteDance subsidiary), has soured, leading Second Dinner to actively seek a new publishing partner.
The game's temporary unavailability stemmed from the recent TikTok ban impacting ByteDance. Second Dinner reportedly lacked prior notice of this action, leaving them to deal with player backlash and the fallout of the abrupt service interruption, including a misleading "banned" message.
The developer's decision to search for a new publisher underscores the significant frustration stemming from this event. Social media reflects a surge of player complaints regarding missed login rewards and disrupted gameplay. The search for a new publisher could take considerable time, potentially months or even years. Second Dinner will undoubtedly hope to avoid similar disruptions in the future.
