The bigger issue for me is that the apology was issued on Twitter. What is GOG still doing on Twitter?
Just nazi stuff.
Realistically, I don’t think GOG are knowingly doing any nazi stuff.
I’m incredibly frustrated they patronize the nazi app, though.
Twitter has been on a massive decline since Elon bought it, updated the algorithm to force right wing bullshit on the users, and pushed AI generated deep fakes and child porn.
In 2026 there’s no “reach” excuse when other platforms have gained traction and non logged in viewers have a crap experience.
Realistically, they emailed out the Schutzstaffel to everyone but those in germany.
What is a Nazi stuff if not the insignia for the SS?
As much as I hate it, some business entities kind of feel they need to be there to spread news.
On the other hand, I hate when its the only/primary way.
Like Fortnite news is all posted to Twitter. Fucking stop that, I blocked Twitter for a reasn.
In a way, I can understand not being familiar with the black sun, but the SS bolts is really fucking well known
I don’t know how you can give them any benefit of the doubt when they combined the dog whistle symbols with the actual SS symbols.
Oh, lemme be clear, I don’t. Especially together, it’s absurd to claim ignorance.
I dunno man, I haven’t noticed the nazi SS thing until it blew up on lemmy. I just kinda glazed over the title, figured the symbols had smth to do with a new advertised game and into the bin it went. My money’s on an edgy/nazi employee or an attempt at a joke in very poor taste.
That’s wild to me, this is something that was covered in my American history class. Not nazi symbology specifically, but we were shown plenty of images that featured the SS bolts. They’re also commonplace in movies and media set then.
I’m not from the US, but yes, I recognize the symbols. It’s just that I don’t put too much stock in an marketing email. Maybe I’m completely desensitized due to all the discount spam we get, but it could just as well have been the announcement of a new wolfenstein game or smth ( not sure what’s in it, haven’t read it ).
Oh sorry I misunderstood, I thought you meant you didn’t recognize the symbols.
I totally get skimming a marketing email and missing something in the subject line.
GOG is gonna lose MAGOG if they keep going on like this. /s
That was the fastest delete of an e-mail for me…
Gmer company being Gmers.
They know where their bread is buttered.
