GOG apologizes for emailing people Nazi symbols

GOG has apologized for sending a newsletter that included symbols associated with the Nazi SS, which were mistakenly included in an email promoting the game The End of the Sun. The company attributed the error to a series of mistakes, including miscommunication with the German QA team and inconsistent font rendering. The symbols in question were actually Slavic runes, including the Sowilō symbol, which represents the sun in Slavic mythology. GOG's explanation cited being understaffed during a bank holiday as a contributing factor to the mistake.
