Title slightly editorialized, because GOG didn't apologize for it - they justified it. They said that they were aware, prior to sending out the newsletter, that the symbols referred to Nazis. They removed it from the German to address "local sensitivities" (i.e. not get in legal trouble), but THEY STILL SENT IT TO EVERYONE ELSE.

They've since provided two additional explanations, resulting in three completely contradictory stories. They knew beforehand but want to "reclaim their culture"! Nope, German localization removed it but didn't tell anyone else! Nope, it's all just an unfortunate accident!

I'm never spending a dime on GOG ever again. I didn't even believe the headlines were real at first, but GOG is on the record on their own social media accounts admitting that they knowingly emailed Nazi symbols to their customer base.

I'm so sick of this, guys. I just wanted to chill in the evening and play a game, not have to write off one of the major online gaming stores because they're okay with Nazism.
