I doubt that they have a corporate culture of being Nazis, but they definitely allowed some to slip through the cracks and get into these positions. The smokescreen probably them scrambling to respond while they figure out exactly which heads need to roll

Yeah I agree, I take it for granted how seasoned I have been in Amerikkka observing and studying fascist culture, many people might not recognize the signs or might fall for the excuses.

I also know that in corporate environments especially, there's usually a "don't rock the boat" mentality. No one will really speak up about anything until it boils over into a major issue because no one wants to preemptively start something.

Could definitely be that several people know about someone (this is likely one person or a couple people), might have mentioned it to others, but didn't have the concrete evidence to confidently do anything, and now this has happened and all of that is suddenly coming out all at once (and they can't say anything about that until the investigation is finished because then they'd be on the hook for libel if they got something wrong).

Not really defending GOG on this, since they still should have been more actively vetting their employees, but I think this is definitely a very common corporate management failure and not some company wide Nazi conspiracy.

I'll definitely be keeping an eey out over the next few weeks to see if heads roll or if anyone breaks and says something. This is so blatantly Nazi that someone in the company absolutely allowed it and is indeed a Nazi, and I guarantee that others knew and will hopefully now have the confidence to speak out.
