Marvel Snap is back online, but Second Dinner aren\'t happy and is seeking a new publisher

Marvel Snap is back online in the United States after a tumultuous period. However, developer Second Dinner has announced it's actively searching for a new publisher following the game's temporary unavailability due to the TikTok ban affecting its current publisher, Nuverse (a ByteDance subsidiary). This unexpected turn of events is a significant blow to Nuverse, considering Marvel Snap's successful 2022 launch and positive reception.

The abrupt service interruption, accompanied by a "banned" warning message, reportedly caught Second Dinner off guard. While the developer works to resolve player complaints and address the fallout from the incident, the decision to seek a new publisher highlights the underlying tension and dissatisfaction. Second Dinner's social media channels reflect a significant outpouring of frustrated player feedback regarding missed login rewards and disrupted event gameplay.

This move underscores the potential repercussions of ByteDance's decision to pull TikTok and several gaming titles without sufficient prior warning to developers. The search for a new publisher could take months or even years, leaving Second Dinner hoping to avoid similar incidents in the future.
