ngl if this is the only proof there is of them being nazis then I don't believe they're nazis. If they were, there would be more evidence beyond an email subject and I doubt a nazi organization would put these symbols in a random email anyway.
This is just fodder for people who like to performatively accuse everyone of being a nazi for their dopamine fix while knowing zero about how actual nazi organizations function or behave.
They knew it was a nazi symbol and intentionally didn't send it to German users where it could get them into legal trouble. They said as much in their """apology""".
Sorry, but you can't say "it was an accident, I didn't know" if I catch you sneaking around trying to avoid being caught doing something.
At the very least more than one person knew what was happening, including, apparently, the person in charge of that PR message.
Given that, and the fact that no one was fired for this, it seems a lot like like they're infested with nazis to me. Hell of a lot of smoke for there not to be a fire.
I never actually saw the mail before. I read the GOG apology and assumed they used runes that looked a bit too similar, but looking at the screenshot they full on used the Siegrune at least.
Rereading the apology, they might not be Nazi's but they're definitely not sorry enough to give a proper apology for using Nazi imagery. That's not a good look either.
