to me it's pretty clear that it was intentional. like ffs, they explicitly chose to send the email with that title everywhere except germany because it's illegal to have nazi symbolism there. so obviously they knew! they realized what this came across as!
idk if it's an edgy representative, and now they're defending that rep or something (or maybe the rep is the one writing the shitty non-apologies)... but yea, i'm downloading all my offline installers and if they don't have a real apology and commitment to not fucking do this again then my account is gone.
fuck gog. the ai shit was bad enough, this is fucking unacceptable. i'd rather put up with steam's drm than give money to neonazis.
As an Easterner, I fully agree with that highlighted comment from Polish dude - the symbol you see in the title has nothing to do with Nazis, it is cultural heritage that we still use around.
For us it's different, but idea is the same - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ugunskrusts
Better don't go to India
Let me remind you that this is Polish game and GoG is owned by a Polish company.
EDIT: I.. don't honestly understand the downvotes. Do you like not believe me and Wikipedia?
EDIT2: I'm assuming people somehow assumed I'm talking about runes, when in reality I just wanted to elaborate on local cultural heritage (the sun-looking thing in the game's logo, not emails)
You still use them around because you have fucking nazis going around. Poland is the ONLY country REQUESTING the military base from the Burger Reich. Makes you think eh, what would they possibly have in common? 🤔🤔🤔
Trust me when I say this - many of the folks don't even really understand Nazis. The symbols have nothing to do with them, it's deeply enriched in our cultural heritage way before Nazis stole the symbols. One of the most respectable/known things from history in my country is "Order of Lāčplēsis". Look it up, notice the dates, and then look up when Latvia was founded. The people who held the title were also involved in fighting against Nazis.
This is all verifiable online. Sometimes the East European history and culture is not what you can assume from GoG emails. We very much hate nazis as they literally brought us into wars and occupations, just like we can assume Poles are not very happy about Nazis attacking them and wrecking their country for decades.
You know what's really annoying? That we essentially get hated for our cultural heritage because the baddies stole a symbol
Let me remind you that Nazis saw slavs as subhumans, next in line after Jews. Poles and Latvians are slavs
I just want to let you know that on my app you are labelled as Zionist (the coincidence in life eh), as such I have no respect for you or your opinions. With your respectable/known orders and history I wipe my ass and what GOG put was Nazi symbology. :)
Huh? I'm like at the opposite world of Israel and you can probably scan my comments for that stuff, doubt you'll find me showing much support for a genocide.
EDIT: Actually, read my profile bio. It might have been due to questioning the numbers from early Lemmy days, but that's pretty much history and in no way makes me a zionist, but someone who critically sees information that's hard to believe and I usually need more proof than a reddit/lemmy comment.
This you facefuck?
It took me literally 2 minutes. Ah yes, you are a critical inspector of facts, yes. Would you like me to show you israeli scum RAPING inmates and civilians defending them? Or kids sniped? Or burned? Or Israeli stats on the war? Or hospitals/refugee camps/schools being bombs with thermobaric bombs?
let me know mr. “you don’t know what Nazi is”.
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.
What about the ss runes? Got a rationalization for that?
