On January 19th, TikTok's temporary US shutdown unexpectedly impacted Marvel Snap, the popular card game published by Nuverse (a ByteDance subsidiary). This disruption resulted in a 24-hour outage before the game's partial restoration. While the game is back online, in-app purchases remain unavailable.
This incident, stemming from the ongoing political uncertainty surrounding TikTok's US operations, has prompted Second Dinner Studios to explore alternative publishing options and internalize certain services. TikTok's 90-day extension to sell a 50% stake to a US entity leaves Marvel Snap vulnerable to future disruptions if the deal fails.
An official statement on X assures players that "Marvel Snap is here to stay," and the developers are diligently working to fully restore the game and its functionality. However, the lack of prior warning caused significant frustration, particularly for players who continued making in-game purchases unaware of the potential lockout. While many experienced authorization issues, PC users via Steam remained unaffected. Second Dinner has promised further updates.
