GOG sent a newsletter on June 5th promoting the game 'The End of the Sun' that mistakenly included symbols associated with the Nazi SS. The company attributed the error to a series of mistakes, including miscommunication with their German QA team, inconsistent font rendering, and being understaffed during a bank holiday. The game is set in a universe based on Slavic mythology and culture, and the email was intended to feature Slavic runes, including the Sowilō symbol, which means 'sun'.
