Got this email this morning from GOG. Choosing this as the subject line was certainly a decision.

I got the mail too, and at least in the German version, there were no symbols

From their comment on reddit.

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.

To which someone replied,

So you caught this as potentially troubling and sensitive before it was sent out to everyone, so you decided not to send it to just one country—Germany, where it's more likely your company could be held legally liable?

They knew it was nazi shit and didn't send it to Germany because they could face legal trouble.

I wonder if that German guy that was subscribed in English could file a complaint or something
