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:
- https://old.reddit.com/r/gog/comments/1txmcyd/ts_gotta_be_racist_gog_explain/opxtour/
- 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.
How does Russian neo-nazism work considering the anti-Russian aspect which is fundamental to Nazism?
Exactly as idiotic as Ukrainian neo-nazism.
Modern Nazism is race neutral. Anyone can be a Neo Nazi.
Multiple strains exist. Normanism or "Actually we were ze ubermensch, Hitler was a jew".
