Second Dinner Parts Ways with Nuverse, Partners with Skystone Games
Following the removal of Marvel Snap from app stores in the aftermath 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 turbulent 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, resulted in the temporary unavailability of these games. While TikTok's restoration was swift, the impact on other Bytedance gaming ventures proved more lasting. Second Dinner, notably, received no prior notification of Marvel Snap's removal and spent weeks working to restore its availability.
The Fallout for Nuverse
Second Dinner's decision to leave Nuverse is unsurprising. The unexpected and disruptive removal of Marvel Snap likely soured relations with many developers. The swiftness of this change suggests significant internal repercussions for Nuverse.
While the geopolitical implications are noteworthy, a more pressing question is whether Bytedance's efforts to safeguard TikTok have inadvertently undermined its ambitious gaming initiatives. Second Dinner's actions certainly suggest this may be the case.
