Huh, I didn't realize Marvel Snap fell under that umbrella ban. I play that game during lunch breaks, it's a good card game with 2-3 minute matches, developed by Hearthstone luminaries (though it's never been clear to me what gameplay benefit you got from season passes, ie what their business model is. I was unaware of security concerns like TikTok that Tracks Everything it can)
Upon launching the game on iOS, the following message appears:
> Unfortunately, MARVEL SNAP is temporarily unavailable on US stores and is unavailable to play in the US.
> This outage is a surprise to us and wasn't planned.
> MARVEL SNAP isn't going anywhere. We're actively working on getting the game up as soon as possible and will update you once we have more to share.
I guess we'll see how temporary it is.
- daemoens 2y agoAre there any other services or companies besides ByteDance affected by the bill?
- diebeforei485 2y agoThe bill specifically says "ByteDance/TikTok bad", and says for other companies the President needs to make a written determination. So in theory it can affect any other company based in China, provided the President makes that determination.
- enraged_camel 2y agoHow is marvel snap affiliated with bytedance?
- 1xdevnet 2y agoThe game is published by Nuverse, which is a ByteDance subsidiary.
- freddie_mercury 2y agoIt is published by a company that ByteDance owns. Presumably they are switching to a new publisher and will be back soon.
