Last night on Saturday, January 18, the United States government made good on its promise to ban TikTok. The ban came from a recently renewed amendment from a Ukraine aid bill that gained bipartisan support, and seemed more likely as TikToks owner, Chinese tech giant ByteDance, refused to sell it off to a U.S. company. Users have been pretty stunned to see the ban enforced, in part because this affects more than just the one popular social platform. U.S. players of the popular mobile game Marvel Snapwere hit with a popup message last night (or this morning, if they checked) stating the card trading game was banned in the country. A law banning [our game] has been enacted in the U.S., the popup reads. Unfortunately, that means you cant use Marvel Snapright for now. Rest assured, were working to restore our service in the U.S. Please stay tuned! Like with TikTok, this appears to affect players who dont live in the U.S., butdo have an account based in the country, and the games app is no longer showing in the iOS or Android stores. Marvel Snapis published by Nuverse, which is a subsidiary of ByteDance. It, along with other apps (CapCut and Lemon8) and games (One Punch Man: The Strongest, Mission EVO) owned by the company, have similarly been banned in the country for the foreseeable future. At time of writing, Marvel hasnt commented on the outage, but developer Second Dinner called it a surprise to us and wasnt planned. The studio said the game isnt going anywhere, and its actively working on getting the game up as soon as possible and will update you once we have more to share. At the moment,Marvel Snapand TikTok players can only wait for incoming president Donald Trump to reverse the ban against ByteDance products he first called for by executive order back in 2020. Until then, theres always Marvel Rivalsor watchingSnapstreams. Want more io9 news?
