I say GG every game, regardless.

It's a handshake. Doesnt matter how the game ended, whether it was a roflstomp or hard fought, you always shake your opponents hand at the end.

So, I've been playing games online for at least 15 years now. When I was younger, I played soccer, football, etc. At the end of every game, online or not, I've pretty much always said 'gg' or its equivalent. I was taught to when I played my first real sport. We lined up and shook hands. It sucked if we lost. Especially if we lost hard. But you know what? The other team played well. So, we showed our respect by acknowledging that. And if we won? No reason to stomp them while they're down. So we told them 'good game', and maybe next time they'd beat us.

I'm always surprised to see people so upset over people saying 'gg' at the end of a game. If it was a really good game, I'll usually say so. 'gg, wp, that was a lot of fun' or something. If someone disconnects on their team? 'gg, sorry for your disconnect'. Just because they had a disconnect doesn't mean that I need to say they played badly.

Everyone is welcome to their opinion here. Personally, in all my time playing real games or online games, I've always said gg. I feel it's better than saying nothing at all, and considerably better than verbally abusing whoever I just played against. Your mileage may vary.

gg is always said when or lose, why sportsmanship. how you take is your issue.

It's my day off and I feel like interacting with the community a little. This is a topic I've seen floating around a few times now, so I thought I'd add my opinion to the pile.

GG = gay game. It's not that bad.

Why can't I blindly say gg on occasion? Occasionally if you had a 4v5 from the start or something like that I'll say sorry for leaver. But if someone is just saying 'gg' don't be mad at them. It's a nice comment whether the game was fair or not. You are the person trying to turn it into a negative term.

If someone says "GG NOOBS" well than thats very different then a simple "GG".

It's a reflex for me.


Although I played sports.

I always remember having to line up after soccer games and say gg to every person on the other team regardless if we were stomped or not. I don't mean anything bad by it.
