GOG previously said they planned to look closer at Linux, and that it was the next major frontier - and they're now working towards GOG Galaxy on Linux.
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.
