Marvel Snap in the US is blocked due to Tik-Tok restrictions

Marvel Snap, developed by California-based Second Dinner and published by ByteDance's Nuverse, was unexpectedly removed from iOS and Android platforms on January 18, 2025. This removal, impacting other ByteDance apps like CapCut and Lemon8, left many players frustrated, particularly due to the lack of prior warning. While users report authorization problems, the game remains accessible on Steam for PC users.

Second Dinner has publicly acknowledged the situation, assuring players via Platform X that Marvel Snap's removal is temporary and that they are actively working to restore the game's availability. Their statement emphasized their commitment to resolving the issue swiftly and keeping players updated on their progress. The sudden ban caused significant concern, especially for players who continued making in-app purchases unaware of the impending lockout.

Interestingly, not all ByteDance apps were affected. Games like Ragnarok X: 3rd Anniversary and Earth: Revival - Deep Underground remain playable.

Prior to the ban, we discussed the recent addition of the Moonstone card to Marvel Snap. This Ongoing card (4/6) presents a compelling addition to the meta, offering the potential to copy the Ongoing effects of 1, 2, and 3-cost cards in its lane. The existing number of low-cost Ongoing cards, such as Ant-Man and U.S. Agent, already provides a substantial pool of effects to copy. However, unlike many inexpensive Ongoing cards that primarily focus on power generation, Moonstone's ability to acquire these effects cost-free allows for rapid power accumulation, making it a potentially game-changing addition.
