    Are we cool with GoG yet because I still haven’t seen any real apology for their Nazi rune email bs beyond a “oopsie”.

      Assholes are employed in a wide range of jobs, including editing/composing newsletters at GoG, and apparently we’d be breaking our own rules on discrimination if we as employers were to use the common traits of bigots as reason for rejecting applications. So the best they can do is internally scold the twat and externally control the damage.

      And the reason I’m taking a reasonable stance is because if we were to lynch and boycott every supplier for events we don’t like, we wouldn’t have a single supplier of games outside of ‘direct contact for a person who also peddles used media’ - and that contact had better be a street address written using a ecofriendly, ethical-brand pencil and parchment, grown and produced in the neighbourhood. Because the only way to be completely clean of problematic companies, barring not getting any games because they had to be internationally produced and distributed, is to not use any distribution platform, transport courier, electronic device of any kind etc.

      Nope. Pretty sure they’ve showed their colours and a “sorry you got upset” is the best you’ll get
