MARVEL SNAP Publisher Switches to Skystone Games

Second Dinner Parts Ways with Nuverse, Partners with Skystone Games

Following the removal of Marvel Snap from app stores in the wake of Bytedance's actions surrounding TikTok, developer Second Dinner has severed ties with its publisher, Nuverse. The studio announced a new partnership with US-based publisher Skystone Games via its official Twitter account.

This move concludes a tumultuous period for several titles published by Nuverse and other Bytedance subsidiaries, including Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and Marvel Snap, all affected by the recent TikTok ban. Bytedance's actions, seemingly intended to protect TikTok, left many developers, including Second Dinner, uninformed and scrambling to restore service after their games were unexpectedly pulled.

The Fallout

Second Dinner's decision to leave Nuverse is unsurprising given the abrupt and disruptive nature of the app store removals. The swiftness of this change suggests significant internal repercussions for Nuverse stemming from developer dissatisfaction.

While geopolitical implications are tempting to discuss, the more pressing question is whether Bytedance's efforts to safeguard TikTok have inadvertently undermined its ambitious gaming ventures. Second Dinner's actions certainly suggest this might be the case.
