Marvel Snap's US removal follows the TikTok ban. ByteDance, TikTok's parent company and developer Second Dinner's owner, has withdrawn several games, seemingly in protest. The impact on Marvel Snap's future availability remains uncertain.
The TikTok ban, fueled by concerns from US politicians about a "foreign adversary controlled application," extends to all ByteDance apps and subsidiaries. ByteDance's action could be interpreted as "malicious compliance," effectively igniting fan outrage over a political decision that might have otherwise gone unnoticed.
The removal of Marvel Snap and other ByteDance apps is likely to cause significant backlash among fans. The political impact remains unclear, but the lack of prior warning suggests a deliberate attempt to provoke a strong reaction.
