          ngl if this is the only proof there is of them being nazis then I don’t believe they’re nazis. If they were, there would be more evidence beyond an email subject and I doubt a nazi organization would put these symbols in a random email anyway.

          This is just fodder for people who like to performatively accuse everyone of being a nazi for their dopamine fix while knowing zero about how actual nazi organizations function or behave.

            I never actually saw the mail before. I read the GOG apology and assumed they used runes that looked a bit too similar, but looking at the screenshot they full on used the Siegrune at least.

            Rereading the apology, they might not be Nazi’s but they’re definitely not sorry enough to give a proper apology for using Nazi imagery. That’s not a good look either.

          So basically some idiot intern stuck Nazi symbols in a mass email to see if they would get away with it. I’m sorry but I’m going to need stronger evidence than this before I believe the claim that “GOG is being run by Nazis”.
