Marvel Snap Goes Offline in the US along with Other Apps

Marvel Snap pulled from US app stores amidst TikTok ban concerns. The recent offline status of Marvel Snap, alongside Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and CapCut, is directly linked to the ongoing scrutiny of their parent company, ByteDance (also the owner of TikTok).

The Reason Behind the US Ban:

These apps' removal is a preemptive measure by ByteDance in response to intensifying US government concerns regarding national security and data privacy. ByteDance faces intense pressure from lawmakers, leading to this proactive decision to avoid a broader ban.

Potential for a Comeback:

While the situation remains uncertain, there's optimism that TikTok, and potentially the other ByteDance apps including Marvel Snap, might return to US app stores. This hinges on the outcome of ongoing negotiations and the resolution of the national security concerns.

Impact on ByteDance:

The US market represents a significant portion of revenue and player base for ByteDance's gaming and app portfolio. A prolonged ban would have substantial financial consequences.

Current Status:

The future of Marvel Snap in the US is currently unclear. Players outside the US can continue enjoying the game via the Google Play Store.
