The “Bro visited his friend” meme template. In panel one, a character says “hi GOG any new deals tod-” and another character, labeled with the GOG.com logo, replies with the screenshot of a mail header titled “Slavic adventures 𖥞 ꥟ ϟϟ”. In the second panel, the first character looks at the second one with a worried look on their face.

    How tf did this happen? Did some Nazi intern at the company sneak it past the PR team? Did some LLM think they were appropriate symbols to use based on scraping 4chan? Was some human really so clueless at to think that they were “cool slavic symbols” or some shit?

      Probably LLM. GOG Deals newsletter never reads like human.
      Some human prevented these symbols from reaching users with language set on German, though.
