I like gging as some sort of sign that you are thankful that the other players wanted to play with you so that both of you could have fun. Its basically a simplified thanks for the game which is easier to say when enraged by a loss.

I just interpret it as a sign that everybody is ok with the result, admits defeat/victory, and nobody is raging.

"gg as already stated stands for "good game" so if you think the game was good say it if not don't regardless of the mu, result etc. I don't think it's rude to not say or return it. I also don't think it's rude if you win and say gg first. Although what I make sure every game is to say "wp" (well played) regardless of the result. If I win it's just appreciating the other player for effort he put it and if he wins for the obvious reasons.

Yeah I still get a little annoyed when winners gg first but I stopped caring as much because I realized that lots of people do it and clearly their views on it differ from mine, and they're not gonna stop doing it just because in my opinion it's kind of rude.

I personally say gg after every game regardless of winning or loosing. I just think it is the polite thing to do like lining up and shaking hands after a hockey game.

exactly, don't take it so literal that you can say it after a good game, a comparison with a handshake is very true

the worst case in which ,,gg" is used is when you haven't lost yet and the opponent insist that it's already finished because he's too good --- I once played against a Brit on Saguenay and he did that lame water build, after 30 minutes he said ,,gg?" when I still stood some chances, but at that moment I raged, lost eventually, unfortunately, in the aftermath I insulted and pested him

If you dont want to say gg for some reason then thank the other player for the game instead.

the silence sometimes is awkward, you dont even know whether your opponent left or not, it sucks hard, even in AoC a notification is shown once a player leaves the game
