  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.

    Lol, no, I’m just here to laugh at everyone malding about what is very clearly an innocent mistake.

    Seriously, this is Tankie Triad levels of conspiracism, y’all.

      If it’s just a mistake, then why did they only remove the symbol in the email sent to German customers, where it could get them into legal trouble?

  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.

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

      Tell me then, why would they not show those symbols to Germans?

    Did you read the article? It’s not Schutzstaffel.

    • CubitOom@infosec.pub ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

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

        This seems like just poor planning rather than signaling. Let be real here. What is GOG or the devs to gain from this, it’s silly.

  They didn’t even use the rune though. They didn’t use the sowilo rune ᛋ but the koppa symbol ϟ because it looks more like the sig rune. If they actually meant to use the sowilo rune they would have and also why make a doppelrune? This is nazi shit.
