Marvel Snap's US Shutdown: A ByteDance Fallout?
The recent US ban of Marvel Snap isn't an isolated incident. It coincides with the high-profile ban of TikTok, and the two are directly linked. This article explores the connection and the potential implications.
The Reason Behind the Ban
Marvel Snap wasn't alone; Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and CapCut also faced US removal. The common thread? All three are owned by ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok. Given the intense scrutiny TikTok is currently facing from US lawmakers regarding national security and data privacy, ByteDance appears to have proactively pulled these apps to preempt a broader crackdown.
A Potential Comeback?
There's cautious optimism that TikTok might return, at least temporarily. Should that happen, the other ByteDance-owned apps, including Marvel Snap, could potentially find their way back onto US app stores. However, this remains uncertain.
Significant Impact
The US market represents a substantial portion of revenue and players for these Chinese-owned companies. A complete and permanent ban would be a significant blow.
The Future of Marvel Snap in the US
The future of Marvel Snap's availability in the US is currently uncertain. For now, players outside the US can continue to enjoy the game, readily available on the Google Play Store.
