Against the stupid “gg!”

Post by desertman »

I find it quite ugly when - especially winners - vomit a "gg" into the chat. Actually, I also find it ugly when loosers do it. It's a robotic ugliness and I don't think it is a real and honest appreciation. Just vomit. It would be easy to choose one of the prepared statements (with real words) instead.

What do you think?

I think you might be a little too bothered by it. I don't care for it much in any non-cooperative games. However, it's very much ok I'm cooperative games

If you're referring to the "Good game!" and "Thanks for the game!" messages, aren't they just different ways to say GG?

It's just the internet equivalent of shaking hands with your opponents after a game. It's good sportsmanship.

do you mean when they gg before the game is over and it's not their turn? That's kinda annoying. But the gg in general is fine.
