GOG subscribers reported receiving a promo email for The End of the Sun that displayed symbols resembling Nazi iconography, including SS-style lightning bolts and a Black Sun-like motif. GOG has since responded, saying the “lightning bolt” symbol was displayed incorrectly and that they were aware the issue could occur.

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.

    The fact the game has changed logo and gog decided they’d include the old one stinks.

    This makes the runes in the gog mail feel like a reaction to the devs “going back” on their original iconography and an attempt at fixing it.

    “Oh, you changed your symbol because it was too nazi-like? Let us double down on it.”
