Second Dinner Parts Ways with Nuverse, Partners with Skystone Games
Following the removal of Marvel Snap from app stores in the wake of Bytedance's TikTok ban, developer Second Dinner has severed ties with its publisher, Nuverse. The studio announced a new partnership with US-based publisher Skystone Games via its official Twitter account.
This move concludes a tumultuous period for several titles published by Nuverse and other Bytedance subsidiaries, including Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and Marvel Snap, all caught in the crossfire of the recent TikTok ban. Bytedance's actions, seemingly intended to protect TikTok, left many apps unavailable, prompting a swift response from then President-elect Donald Trump to reinstate service.
While TikTok's restoration was relatively smooth, the fallout for some gaming titles proved more significant. Second Dinner, for instance, received no prior notice of Marvel Snap's removal and spent weeks working to restore its availability.
The Fallout for Nuverse
Second Dinner's decision to abandon Nuverse isn't unexpected. The abrupt and unannounced removal of Marvel Snap likely damaged the relationship irreparably. The speed of this change suggests significant internal repercussions for Nuverse stemming from developer dissatisfaction.
While the geopolitical implications are noteworthy, a more pressing question arises: Did Bytedance's aggressive tactics to save TikTok inadvertently cripple its ambitious gaming division? Second Dinner's actions certainly suggest this may be the case.
