Marvel Is Cooking Up Something Huge for Venom and Carnage
Marvel Comics has spent the past year dropping major bombshells for Venom and Carnage, and their newest Free Comic Book Day special teases even bigger things to come.
As part of their solicitation for this year's FCBD: Amazing Spider-Man special, Marvel teases, "Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman join forces again for a story that's been brewing since classic Spidey tales like AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #252, SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN #90, and MARVEL TEAM-UP #141. Prepare for absolute terror as this Venom story by Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman sets the stage for what will become one of the most fearsome events in the Marvel Universe…"
Obviously, that doesn't reveal much about the actual plot of these two stories. However, Stegman's cover gives us some idea of what's coming, showcasing Carnage looming and preparing to consume the world.

Devotion Was Removed From Steam for a ‘QA Check’
Red Candle Games has put an end to any speculation that its Taiwanese horror game, Devotion was banned from Steam following a backlash from Chinese gamers - but it was temporarily removed because of that backlash.
The Taiwanese horror game caused controversy earlier this week when players reported spotting a reference to a Winnie-the-Pooh meme mocking Chinese President Xi Jinping. It subsequently disappeared from Steam, leading some believe it had been banned from the platform.
However, in a Facebook statement, the developer explained that it removed its title to "have another complete QA check," and ensure that "no other unintended materials" were left in the game. It also cites "technical issues" that caused "unexpected crashes," as another reason for the removal.
