As @mushroommunk@lemmy.today detailed the trans story, here's the Nazi story.

tl;dr GOG sent out a newsletter with SS symbols despite having noticed it before publishing.

I hear about the email a while ago, didn't hear the response, and wasn't sure if there was more to it.

“I also recognize that placing two such runes next to each other could create an unfortunate association with symbols used by the Nazi regime. This was noticed before distribution, and out of respect for local sensitivities, the material was not sent to the German community.”

But, this is the bit that kills me, I could buy "Our internet didn't realize how badly those rendered on certain mail clients."

But the fact that they noticed and sent it is insane.

Kinda wish I didnt just re-buy FO3 and NV a bit ago.

Don’t feel too guilty, you’re already better off than most for caring about it.

It’s just a shame how prevalent that kind of behaviour is. It’s to the point where you pretty much have to scour the backgrounds of all the businesses you buy from to see if they’re hateful/extremist. Like they always have something to hide.
