Second Dinner Parts Ways with Nuverse, Partners with Skystone Games
Following the removal of Marvel Snap from app stores in the wake of the Bytedance/TikTok situation, 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 turbulent 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 following the incident.
While the geopolitical implications are noteworthy, a more pressing question arises: has Bytedance's aggressive attempt to safeguard TikTok inadvertently undermined its ambitious gaming division? Second Dinner's actions certainly suggest this possibility.
