Kolovrat is one thing, ss runes were unmistakable and the explanation “that’s our ancestry” made it worse since they’ve used greek symbols instead of the rune, and 2 of them together. Even developers said they had no explanation for that.

That was a nazi dog whistle and gog didn’t even try to distance themselves from nazis, not even saying “nazi bad” after the whole thing.

Everyone involved has said it was a serious and honest mistake, and they will try to do better in the future. I personally don't need more than that. I don't believe they have anything to gain from sending Nazi political messages in their newsletters. Nobody with any sense could believe there's any gain in that for a game company.

For me, this is water under the bridge. Not a nothing burger of course, it was a serious mistake, as stated. But it's over now. Forgiven but not forgotten. Let's move on.
