Marvel Snap Goes Offline in the US along with Other Apps
Marvel Snap's US Shutdown: A ByteDance Fallout?
The recent removal of Marvel Snap from US app stores coincides with the controversial TikTok ban, and the connection is undeniable. This article delves into the reasons behind this unexpected development.
Why the US Ban?
Marvel Snap wasn't alone; Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and CapCut also disappeared from US platforms. The common thread? All three are owned by ByteDance, TikTok's parent company. Given the intense scrutiny ByteDance faces from US lawmakers regarding national security and data privacy, this preemptive app removal seems a strategic move to mitigate potential further action.
A Potential Return?
While the future remains uncertain, there's optimism that TikTok might return, at least temporarily. Should that happen, the other ByteDance-owned apps, including Marvel Snap, could potentially reappear on US app stores.
Significant Impact
The US market represents a substantial portion of revenue and player base for Chinese gaming companies. A prolonged ban on these apps would be significantly detrimental.
The Verdict?
The fate of Marvel Snap in the US remains unknown. We await further developments. However, players outside the US can continue enjoying the game via the Google Play Store.
