  Yeah, not buying anything from a company that can’t even do as little as saying “Nazis bad” after sending out SS symbols.

  All they did was a non-apology and attempts at gasligting by saying it’s their heritage.

    Wait, what? Have so been living under a rock? When did they send out Nazi symbols?

        And to think, no one would have even blinked if they’d only used one rune. SMH.

  It wasn’t a dog whistle, it was foreshadowing for the Summer Sale!

  Not that I saw. I won’t buy from them at this point. Anyone who purposefully posts the SS doesn’t get my money.

  Depends on your definition of “make good”.

  After the first disastrous comment on reddit they issued a second one on Twitter which sounded like the first one should have in the first place.

  But that’s all and they didn’t address it inside the newsletter, so for me it’s empty words without really addressing the deeper issue of how much somebody in GOG fucked up.

    Just context for people since I had to look it up myself.

    First bad apology.

    Second bad apology.

    Neither statement actually says Nazi or Faccism is wrong. Literally the one thing that would help them right now, and twice they failed to do it. The GoG forums are full of folks saying this has been a known problem for years that hate speech was not being moderated.

    Sooooo, yeah. It’s pretty disappointing. Not sending it to Germany (where it is illegal and punishable) but then okaying its use for rest of the world is a WILD explanation. I’m sure af not going to buy GoG anymore.

      They are literally apologizing? What kind of hill are you dying on?

        I think people want to amplify this to justify staying on Steam. “Steam has DRM but at least they’re not Nazis! So I’ll take the moral approach and only use Steam.” When in reality it’s just a matter of convenience but portrayed as a moral decision.

      It was sent to Germany, just not to users with their language set to German.

      Yep, I send an email to support asking about it and they said they can’t tell me more than the second apology and quoted it.
