It's not a slavic rune! It's only slavid insofar as the Rus were Scandinavian in origin! It's a "reconstructed" version of a rune from the younger futhark. But this isnt even tbat. This is a fucking doppelsig, the most nazi synbol you could make next to a hakenkreuz
Aaaaaaaaaaa
apparently that's the excuse they gave but patriotic fact checkers confirmed that they didn't even use the unicode symbol for the futhark sowilo rune ᛋ but the a smallcaps koppa ϟ.
THATS NOT EVEN AN EXCUSE IN LA LA LAND.
IT'S STILL NOT SLAVIC, IT'S STILL NOT OKAY TO DO A DOPPELRUNE, THIS IS STILL THE SS SYMBOL
AAAAAAA
Reading the thread, the GOG staff acknowledged that a German coworker had advised against them sending this out, so they removed the emojis from the German language version of the email. They still sent the SS runes out to people in Germany subscribed in English, which is very illegal in a marketing communication about a fantasy video game, and it's a law that's enforced fairly rigorously.
Hopefully there will be criminal prosecution.
