    The bigger issue for me is that the apology was issued on Twitter. What is GOG still doing on Twitter?

        Realistically, I don’t think GOG are knowingly doing any nazi stuff.

        I’m incredibly frustrated they patronize the nazi app, though.

          I’m no longer buying the “muh reach” bullshit being used as an excuse for continuing to use that Nazi hellhole platform. It’s just Stormfront with more mainstream appeal.

          Twitter has been on a massive decline since Elon bought it, updated the algorithm to force right wing bullshit on the users, and pushed AI generated deep fakes and child porn.

          In 2026 there’s no “reach” excuse when other platforms have gained traction and non logged in viewers have a crap experience.

            Except that they sent it out to people in Germany if they had their language set to one other than German. Using this symbols this way is a crime, by the way.

                Hm. I’m in Germany. That’s a screenshot from my inbox.

                Maybe it’s dependant on which language you choose in the store, not where you’re located.

                  It is language dependent, because they’re lazy. That’s also what the user you responded to said.

                  Source: I read the GOG forums when the news first broke

                  Being in Germany though, you do now have the opportunity to do something about this which most don’t. You have been sent explicit Nazi imagery, which as far as I’m aware is illegal.

                    I have no idea how I missed that.

                    You’re right. That’s one reason I took that screenshot. I planned on researching on what to do next as soon as I’m able.

                    Seeing how the far right has become a substantial and very real threat, you cannot convince me that this was an innocent mistake or a joke gone wrong.

      As much as I hate it, some business entities kind of feel they need to be there to spread news.

      On the other hand, I hate when its the only/primary way.

      Like Fortnite news is all posted to Twitter. Fucking stop that, I blocked Twitter for a reasn.
