Marvel Snap torna nella App Store; Trump dice che Microsoft potrebbe acquistare ByteDance

The digital card game Marvel Snap is back on the App Store after the developer of the game seems to have broken off connections with ByteDance, TikTok's parent company.

Trum suggested that Microsoft is negotiating the purchase of TikTok, even though the CEO of the company previously described this proposal as 'the most strange'...

Marvel Snap returns to the App Store

When talking about a 'ban' on TikTok, the real ban concerns American companies with business dealings with the app's owner, ByteDance. Marvel Snap was published by Nuverse, a subsidiary, so it was also affected by the ban.

Now it seems that the game developer, Second Dinner, has changed publishers, as Apple Insider reports that the app is back on the App Store.

This happened on Wednesday, with Marvel Snap now being downloadable and playable on iPhone in the United States. The card collection game was also removed from ByteDance's list of applications on Apple, indicating that the game developer, Second Dinner, probably had alternatives for publication. However, no details have been provided yet.

President Trump says Microsoft might buy TikTok

A strange circular event saw Trump be the first to threaten to ban TikTok unless it was sold to an American company. The president then positioned himself as the savior of the app.

Initially, ByteDance approached Microsoft to see if the big software company might be interested in buying TikTok. While Satya Nadella stated that a possible match could be seen, he also described the approach as 'the strangest thing ever seen'.

This time, Trump moved on to present Oracle as a potential buyer. The company currently offers hosting services in the USA for TikTok, although it is illegal, seeming comfortable with Trump's promise not to allow the application of the law.

But that idea was silent, and BBC News reports that Trump now claims that Microsoft is negotiating the purchase.

US President Donald Trump has stated that Microsoft is negotiating the acquisition of TikTok and wants to see a 'bidding war' on the sale of the social media app.

When journalists asked the American tech giant if it was preparing an offer, Trump responded: "I would say yes" - before adding that there was "a lot of interest in TikTok" from various companies [...]

A Microsoft spokesperson stated that the company has "nothing to share at this moment". BBC also contacted TikTok for comments.
