The recent ban of Marvel Snap in the US has sent shockwaves through the gaming community, and it's not alone in its fate. Alongside Marvel Snap, popular apps like TikTok, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, and CapCut have also been taken offline in the region. What's the common thread here? All of these apps are owned by ByteDance, the Chinese tech giant that's been under the microscope of US lawmakers due to concerns over national security and data privacy.
Why the Ban on Marvel Snap in the US?
The decision to pull these apps appears to be a preemptive move by ByteDance to avoid a broader crackdown. The US market is a significant source of revenue and player base for these Chinese-owned gaming companies, so a full-scale ban is a major setback.
While the future of TikTok in the US remains uncertain, there's a glimmer of hope that it might return, at least temporarily. If that happens, it could pave the way for other ByteDance-owned apps and games, including Marvel Snap, to make a comeback in the US app stores.
For now, we can only wait and see if the ban on Marvel Snap will be lifted. Fingers crossed for a swift resolution. Meanwhile, if you're outside the US, you can continue enjoying Marvel Snap by downloading it from the Google Play Store.
