While Scum's developers at the Croatia-based studio Gamepires gave this statement to Polygon: Devolver Digital apologizes unreservedly.' We strongly condemn any and all use of hateful symbology in our games and agree it should have never been in the game regardless of creative intent or realism.

This content has been patched out as of this morning, and Devolver Digital are currently conducting a full review of all assets and content in the game with Gamepires. The use of the tattoo was intended to assist in portraying a realistic element of prison culture and the horrid elements within it. We do not agree with use of this symbology or any hateful content, regardless of intention. 'Devolver Digital has become aware of tattoos representing neo-Nazi symbology in the newly released prison survival simulation game Scum. The publisher provided this statement to Polygon: Predictably, others on Reddit and Steam forums argued that these symbols fit the fiction, but it seems Nazi imagery was too hot-button for Devolver or the team that created the game to ignore. While these tattoos fit the game's lore - every player is a prisoner convicted of serious crimes, and neo-Nazi tattoos aren't unknown in prison populations - they upset some players. As Polygon reported, all had been removed from the game as of this morning (the left image is from Reddit, the right from Polygon). Another tattoo included the Iron Cross and skull, which, while not nearly as controversial as the Nazi Swastika, is still used by neo-Nazis. Players on Reddit and Steam noticed that the Scum Supporter Pack DLC included content with the numbers '14' and '88,' well-known neo-Nazi references. Today, its publisher Devolver Digital scrubbed the customization options from the title and apologized. Days after prisoner survival game Scum came out in Steam Early Access, players discovered their criminal characters could be given Nazi-related tattoos.
