#GOG has always been my number one #gaming platform. Heck, my profile picture was literally GOG-chan for a couple years on every space I was contributing to.

Seeing this new non-excuse for their Nazi email header has me pulling back from them. I'm not sure how much I can blame on the new ownership after CDPR sold it, but things like a Patreon, A.I. art replacing human artists and now literal Nazi shit? Nope. Done with that one.

I'm done.

@flwwhtrbt it's just emojis being replaced with unrelated text icons. Not well-tested enough and that's about it

Funny how they didn't share those same icons with their German customers. Because it is illegal to do so there

They're using A.I. for a lot of things there, it is mostly automated but 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘴

They said so themselves

@flwwhtrbt checked how? rendering depends on email client. Some clients saw intended emojis and others saw these weird text fallbacks. It's not easy to catch

I guess it was checked by eyeballs? So they knew it wasn't right for Germany, but rather than pressing the backspace even once, at the least, they sent it everywhere else

Seems like not sending it to the German community did not work properly because I received it.

Yeah I think that was the language option, not the location! For those that have the newsletter in English, it was still there. But those who receive it in German it wasn't?

But that's a point I'm not 100% on, since I'm not a German user.

Sorry you had to see that, regardless.
