GOG apologizes after newsletter accidentally shows Nazi rune

GOG apologized on X for a June newsletter about The End of the Sun that inadvertently displayed a Nazi Schutzstaffel symbol due to a series of mistakes and display errors, including incorrect branding on the email. The developers of The End of the Sun said they were surprised by the symbol, and GOG indicated the issue stemmed from how the rune was rendered across devices (with some devices showing ϟ instead of the intended rune) and suggested an AI-driven suggestion may have contributed. GOG pledged to improve checks and mobile display handling to prevent such an “unfortunate visual association.”
