This doesn’t even make sense when it’s about symbols that are illegal in one country. Not all German speakers live in Germany, not all people in Germany use the German language version of things.

But also not everyone with a .de domain lives in Germany. You can’t really accurately filter for this in a newsletter unless you know everyone’s location. So they just used the language, thinking that would catch most German citizens.

There is also a “location” in my GOG profile, wnich is set to Germany.
