Disclaimer: I am not personally invested in the whole thing. I am not cool and remote like a mountain but I don't care that much about GOG.

As I understand, GOG sent out a newsletter promoting a game with Nazi symbols.

The game's developers released a statement in a reddit comment here: https://old.reddit.com/r/gog/comments/1txlz7z/hey_gog_wtaf/opxpgf0/

Afterwards GOG made two statements:

  1. https://old.reddit.com/r/gog/comments/1txmcyd/ts_gotta_be_racist_gog_explain/opxtour/
  2. https://www.gog.com/forum/general/weird_subject_line_choice_for_a_newsletter/post60

I don't expect folks to read through the whole thing but some surface level thoughts would be appreciated. Like they make a lot of emotionally charged statements citing culture and I can't tell if they are genuine or hot air.

Modern Nazism is race neutral. Anyone can be a Neo Nazi.

This comes from the George Rockwell reforms of the 50s and 60s who transitioned Nazism away from a strictly Hitlerite ideology. Most Russian Nazis are radicalized online, and therefore are often radicalized by Westerns following Rockwell's branch of Nazism.
