In chat, GG is an internet slang initialism that stands for "good game". It is commonly used at the end of a multiplayer video game match to acknowledge the winners skill and show good sportsmanship. Saying GG is considered a sign of respect and is similar to shaking hands after a real-life game. In some games, saying GG can earn players special or exclusive rewards. Variations of GG include GGWP (good game, well-played), GGNORE (good game, no rematch), and GGEZ (good game, easy), which is considered an insult. While GG is typically used at the end of a game, using it at the start of a game is generally seen as bad sportsmanship. In some cases, GG can be used sarcastically or as an insult.
