Well that’s a headline I never thought I’ll write. Several posts and comments on the GOG subreddit have noticed a promotional e-mail that contains some… interesting symbols, which I can confirm with my own e-mail. As can be seen from the screenshot below, an e-mail containing a discount code for the game The End of the Sun (nothing out of the ordinary so far) contains 4 symbols that resemble Nazi iconography.

    So nobody here wants to actually read the article where it was very clearly explained that this was a rendering error of a different symbol on some devices?

    Y’all just really, really wanna be mad, huh?

      The Schutzstaffel is purely a Nazi symbol.

      There was no reason to use 2 of those runes together, especially when not using it in German mailers because they thought it would violate hate speech laws.

      Either you are trying to gaslight people into thinking that ᛋᛋ is not a symbol of hate and genocide, or you are extremely ignorant.

          Tell me then, why would they use 2 side by side. And why not show those symbols to Germans?

        No, I’m just capable of reading an article and understanding an explanation, unlike you and most other people in the thread, apparently.

      We all did, we also read the other messages and saw through the flimsy excuse provided.

      Please do tell us why putting two Greek Koppa together was necessary, and how it relates to Polish cultural history. Why they realised that it appeared Nazi related, and instead of simply not doing it decided to only not do it in Germany.

      Y’ou just really, really wanna downplay this, huh?
