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.

    I have always loved GOG and what they do but this shit is unacceptable. I thought it was a mistake at first, just something overlooked but they said they didn’t send it to German users because of the implications so what the fuck

    They really need to apologize for this. I go out of my way to tell everyone who games on PC about GOG man…
