  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.

    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 bad 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.

  Still havent received an apology newsletter from GOG about their mistake, so still only empty PR statements.

  Gmer company being Gmers.

  They know where their bread is buttered.

    Yes, which is exactly why so many of us gamers and GOG customers are complaining about it. Because we all support Nazis.

    Do you use your head only as decorative accessory to your hat or also for other stuff?
