Marvel Snap, the popular card battler from Second Dinner, is back online in the US after a tumultuous period. However, the game's recent unavailability, linked to the TikTok ban impacting publisher ByteDance, has led to a significant fallout. Second Dinner, reportedly unaware of Nuverse (ByteDance's subsidiary)'s decision to abruptly halt service, has publicly announced its search for a new publishing partner.
This unexpected move represents a major setback for Nuverse, considering Marvel Snap's successful launch in 2022, blending Marvel characters with fast-paced card battles. The developer's anger is understandable, given the player backlash resulting from lost login rewards and disrupted gameplay. Social media reflects a significant outpouring of frustrated player complaints.
Second Dinner's decision to actively seek a new publisher underscores the severity of the situation and the strained relationship with Nuverse. The process of finding a replacement publisher could take considerable time, potentially months or even years. The immediate priority is preventing a recurrence of this disruptive event.
