Some things about the recent #GOG controversy which aren't showing up in most reporting:

* The character used in the subject, the small koppa, shows up wildly different depending on font. This rendering is the one they say they intended: https://emoji.gg/symbol/greek-small-letter-koppa - ref https://www.gog.com/forum/general/weird_subject_line_choice_for_a_newsletter/post60
* Their lack of understanding about unicode glyphs and rendering differences shows in them consistently referring to the koppa they used as the sowilo rune, which is yet another character.
* Poland had a national holiday on Thursday, so most people working at GOG had a four day weekend; meaning it's been a skeleton crew handling everything so far, including the boneheaded call to initially only change the German version, instead of halting this completely.
* The person behind the u/GOGcom account on reddit, who did the tone-deaf non-apology talking about their Polish heritage, is almost certainly a new hire (started posting 1.5 months ago; there's a very clear break in tone from that account at that point), for whom this is their first shitstorm - https://web.archive.org/web/20260219043339/https://www.gog.com/en/work/social-media-community-specialist

None of that excuses - but it might explain. I really hope/expect that the needed strong denouncement will come on Monday.
