GOG subscribers report receiving a promotional email for The End of the Sun that includes symbols resembling Nazi iconography, including SS-style lightning bolts and a Black Sun-like emblem. The incident has sparked backlash and questions over how the imagery ended up in an official marketing message, with GOG now issuing a response.

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.

    But it’s not the same symbol despite being two of them.

    Let’s not nazis hijack the letter S and fucking sun now shall we? This is so tiring.
