Gog Promotional E-Mail Containing Nazi Symbols Goes Out to Subscribers (outof.games)

Well that's a headline I never thought I'll write. Several posts and comments on the GOG subreddit have noticed a promotional e-mail that contains some... interesting symbols, which I can confirm with my own e-mail. As can be seen from the screenshot below, an e-mail containing a discount code for the game The End of the Sun (nothing out of the ordinary so far) contains 4 symbols that resemble Nazi iconography.

I'll make my own assumptions about you.

Oh no! What would I do now…

Curious, do you think germany owes israel to the jews, like you wrote? Do you agree?

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 0 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

Yes, just like Israelis will own to Palestinians for a long time. Do you disagree? Just because Israelis became evil, does not somehow delete history of Nazis. This is obviously less about Israel and more about holding parties accountable for what they did, instead of forgiving everyone at the first inconvenience or "an enemy of my enemy is my friend"

EDIT: Of course, just downvote and move on, because you know I'm right and you cannot rationally argue against this, unless you're also ready to forgive Israel as soon as Palestine attacks someone else.

Because Germany and Europe totally held Nazi accountable for their crimes and totally not put them in positions of power.

Just like Merz who totally not comes from a Nazi family.

Or like when Germany gave up their land to build Israel in Europe. That totally happened.

So, according to you, what country should we ethnically cleanse to make room from Palestine? We own it to them right?

Additionally, the program was highly unpopular in West Germany, where many Nazis maintained positions of power. Denazification was opposed by the new West German government of Konrad Adenauer,[2] who declared that ending the process was necessary for West German rearmament.

In contrast, in the Soviet occupation zoneand later East Germany, denazification was considered a critical element of the transformation into a socialist society, and the country was stricter in opposing Nazism than its counterpart.

I would stop here if I were you.

Edit: don’t worry bro I’m here to humiliate you. I got your back!
