Ich Versuch das nicht wegzuerklären ich hab Kontext gegeben.

Ach komm. Du bist hier die ganze Zeit dabei das zu verharmlosen und Kontext gibst du nicht. Du erfindest Situationen in denen du die Verwendung SS-Rune irgendwie entschuldigen kannst.

wenn der Entwickler das Symbol wohl unbewusst mit anderer Meinung verwendet hat und irgendwer im Marketing fand das das Symbol gut für ihre Werbestrategie ist bevor mehr darüber nachgedacht wurde.

Das ist nicht "Kontext". Das ist erstmal eine von dir frei geschöpfte Geschichte um das harmlos erscheinen zu lassen. Noch dazu ist das eher unglaubwürdig, weil die SS-Rune nun einmal die SS-Rune ist und nicht das Hakenkreuz, was historisch in anderen Kontexten verwendet wurde. Die SS-Rune wurde extra für die SS entworfen.

Um den Entwickler Post mal direkt hier rein zu stellen : "WE ARE THE CREATORS OF THE GAME. Hello guys!

  1. FIRST OF ALL - WE HAVE 0 INSPIRATION OR CONNECTIONS TO NEO-NAZIS (To be honest, for a long time we didn't even know that there could be a problem with that when making a fantasy game about Slavic culture).

We are the creators of the game. We are a couple from Poland. (Our YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCONlF1_qr8ekpHezov03Rww). We want to underline that our game and we ourselves have 0 connotations with any neo-Nazis or the Nazi community. It is a fantasy game placed in a Slavic fantasy universe. Yes, we are using the "kolovrat" symbol in the game, but we explain it as a symbol of the "God of the Sun" or "Sun". In the game, we even explain that some ancient symbols were adapted by the Nazis. Our kolovrat symbol was based on historical sources of ancient statues:https://sagy.vikingove.cz/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/kolovrat-recko.jpg. (Yes we are now aware it was greek statues, but overall it was symbol of the sun and it is historically confirmed) (Sun is very important for our game storytelling)

But still, some time ago we decided to change the logo symbol to a "roseta", which is also a sun symbol but doesn't have the connotations that we weren't aware of earlier. (Also, some reviewers didn't want to review the game because of that, and basically, we started to be aware of the problem at that time. Because of that small mistake it was much harder to do marketing, and the game was our 8 years of work . Worst thing was that no one before release of the game never mentioned that to us. So Finally we changed all logos (trust us it was very hard in so many places, reviews etc. and we decided to open new chapter. You could read about it here. (we spend like a few months trying to unravel many things to be clear: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/912840/view/528750685224699129 ) ).

In the game itself, the logo is waiting for an update (it is already updated on the PS5 version). The game is about Slavic culture. Unfortunately, so many Slavic (and also, as you know, Norse) symbols were adapted by the Nazis, that during production we overlooked that the kolovrat was also used by smaller groups in Russia. So basically, we are the opposite of any Nazi ideology, and our game is also the opposite. Basically, it is a love story medieval thriller. After you play it or read most of the reviews, you will see that it is a family/human story.

  1. WE DON'T KNOW WHY GOG USED SYMBOLS IN THEIR NEWSLETTER Really, we were also totally surprised when we saw the logo in the newsletter (the old logo) and the symbols next to the newsletter title. But we are in contact with GOG, and we believe this was like an AI recommendation to use those symbols, or something like that. We will ask GOG to just clarify things in the next newsletter.

We didn't use any SS or "Nazi swastika" in the game. Let's wait for GOG's clarification, but in our opinion, it was a bad AI recommendation. (Also, we think the first 2 symbols are just what someone writing the newsletter saw as a "Sun" symbol, as it doesn't look like a black sun, etc. AI recommendations can be really stupid in the matter of symbols.)

Best Regards

Kinga and Kuba creators of The End of the Sun "

Darauf habe ich mich die ganze Zeit bezogen. Nicht mehr nicht weniger.

Das Hitlerbärtchen war auch mal nur eine beliebte Modeerscheinun. Trotzdem trägt das niemand mehr auf dem Planeten, außer derjenige möchte seine entsprechende Denkweise klar machen.

"Aber historische Akkurarität ja gut das ist griechisch und nicht slawisch aber naja" lol

Die haben Nazi-Marketing betrieben und wollen jetzt einen Rückzieher machen wo sie merken, dass die meisten das scheiße finden
