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.
I’m no longer buying the “muh reach” bullshit being used as an excuse for continuing to use that Nazi hellhole platform. It’s just Stormfront with more mainstream appeal.
Don’t forget the child pornography generator
They realized it was nazi stuff, and instead of changing it, they sent it out to everyone except Germany…
Except that they sent it out to people in Germany if they had their language set to one other than German. Using this symbols this way is a crime, by the way.
Realistically, they emailed out the Schutzstaffel to everyone but those in germany.
What is a Nazi stuff if not the insignia for the SS?
Except those in Germany got it, too.
In a way, I can understand not being familiar with the black sun, but the SS bolts is really fucking well known
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 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.
Still havent received an apology newsletter from GOG about their mistake, so still only empty PR statements.
