New all time low on Cyberpunk 2077. There are some others that are close to their lowest. Nothing on my ITAD list is on sale so wallet is staying closed this time.

Did GOG ever make good on the nazi dog whistles they put in that game promo email?

Depends on your definition of “make good”.
After the first disastrous comment on reddit they issued a second one on Twitter which sounded like the first one should have in the first place.
But that’s all and they didn’t address it inside the newsletter, so for me it’s empty words without really addressing the deeper issue of how much somebody in GOG fucked up.

Just context for people since I had to look it up myself.
Neither statement actually says Nazi or Faccism is wrong. Literally the one thing that would help them right now, and twice they failed to do it. The GoG forums are full of folks saying this has been a known problem for years that hate speech was not being moderated.
Sooooo, yeah. It’s pretty disappointing. Not sending it to Germany (where it is illegal and punishable) but then okaying its use for rest of the world is a WILD explanation. Y’all get how that is worse than if it was some “some rogue intern” being a dipshut, but speaks to a company side problem.
I’m sure af not going to buy GoG anymore.

They are literally apologizing? What kind of hill are you dying on?

I think people want to amplify this to justify staying on Steam. “Steam has DRM but at least they’re not Nazis! So I’ll take the moral approach and only use Steam.” When in reality it’s just a matter of convenience but portrayed as a moral decision.
7 daysNope.
I have a few years of Mastodon posts, Lemmy gaming posts and articles where my support of GOG was made very clear.
I have like 50ish games on Steam and a stupidly high number of a few thousand on GOG, but their non-action over their Nazi nonsense has had me drop support and purchases on GOG.
I won’t support that kind of thinking, and that vague non apology didn’t do it for me.
