I was assuming that they used that wheel symbol as a stand-in for the black sun symbol that the Nazis also used. But I also wonder if it’s just AI and some very dumb people. The AI might have encountered these symbols in training on some weird occult neo nazi forums or something, and when prompted to generate some cool runes, it out these in. Either that or the person who did this knows exactly what they’re doing and just pretends to have made a mistake.
GOG is Polish right? I’d expect better of them, the SS symbol should be commonly known. There’s no way this should’ve gotten past multiple people, it’s inexcusable

To me, it is the fact that they used that S-like symbol twice in a row. I don’t care what that symbol actually means on its own. But having two of the character together is clearly an intentional subtle wink from someone.

I’m not convinced it is, just because the other symbols are so random. Like, if it was a human, you’d think they’d at least use other runes, or would use something more standard like, ☉ or ☼, or would at least put in some effort to disguise it. I mean, if they actually wanted to make it subtle, they may even have actually used the sowilō symbol, given that that is what the original runes originate from. Instead, its Koppa, undisguised, front and centre. An AI on the other hand, would just output common patterns of symbols, such as this.
Then again, Nazis aren’t exactly known for being smart, so…
