This could be the case, or could not be. They shared a post on Reddit 19 hours ago from their official account, and I thought it might be nice to share that here, at least to spark some discussion.
They simply shared a post titled:
Shall we? 📦💿

Did GOG ever end up meaningfully addressing that neonazi shit?
Michał Kiciński, the new owner, just posted a thorough apology: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/nazi_symbols_in_an_email_and_bs_excuse/post277
(If you’re on the default 20 posts per page view, you need to go back a page (to the bottom of page 18) to actually read post 277, as deleted posts in that thread means the linking to specific post numbers is broken.)
He’s had like what 2 weeks and all he can say is “I’m sorry, we’re not Nazis”?
What I want to see is accountability, I want a real explanation for how it was created in the first place. I want to know why their first 2 responses were so all over the place and didn’t explain what happened but tried to deflect. I want to see what their plans are to ensure this cannot happen again. An apology on its own doesn’t cut it.
No. At least not to my satisfaction.
That’s disappointing to hear.
Guess I’ll continue to not use them any more.
They said it was a bank holiday and they were understaffed and that is most of the root cause of it going out as well as suspecting of using AI to make headers for their emails which is not uncommon.
They apologized and explained it that way
No.
Because they don’t feel sorry about doing it on purpose, just that people didn’t like it.
