"Marvel Snap Returns Online; Second Dinner Seeks New Publisher Amidst Discontent"

After a challenging few days, Second Dinner's popular card game, Marvel Snap, has resumed service in the United States. The game was temporarily unavailable due to the TikTok ban affecting its publisher, ByteDance. However, it seems that Second Dinner was not informed about the sudden service interruption, which included a misleading "banned" message to users.

As Second Dinner continues to manage the fallout and respond to player grievances, they have announced their search for a new publisher.
