GOG previously said they planned to look closer at Linux, and that it was the next major frontier - and they're now working towards GOG Galaxy on Linux.
To be fair, when I saw those symbols I thought about lightning, not SS, especially given the spacing that would have never hinted at the SS symbol.
Then, knowing the game, I thought it must have been some Slavic mythology reference.
But I understand Germans, Zios and Americans are obsessed about such things. After all they keep learning from each other about cultural appropriation and erasure.
I understand that, but then why would they not correct it for everyone? They saw that there was a problem, so they made a second newsletter specifically for Germany, but sent the problematic one out to everyone else. Like wouldn’t it have made more sense to just fix it for everyone and avoid the obvious criticism?
The real issue is that they saw the problem and fixed it for Germany only and not for anywhere else.
You’d think Poles of all people would be aware of how it looks.

My first thought wasn’t the SS, but the fact that they saw it and thought it might be a problem in Germany is another story.
But it is. In Germany. Then do you think the same of the Wolfenstein games being about the Cult if the Wolf or whatever it was?
Germany always had special treatment, self-inflicted or not.
