I say gg to my opponent no matter the circumstance in bw, but in sc2 I don't normally gg unless I feel the game was particularly special in some way. I just find it really hard to give a damn in remembering to gg when the game is so casual, and I feel like just saying gg "just because" like it's a reflex makes the use of the gg lose all real meaning.

LOL so true


Yeah man, I'm right there with you.

It isn't being narcissistic at all its a social convention. If anything the expectation to hear GG and GLHF back are the result of a social convention. I wouldn't call SC2 a microcosm in which these terms are "good". Instead, I see the SC2 community as being heavily influenced by years of Eastern Asian domination wherein the social niceties and social conventions of being respectful have become heavily ingrained in the StarCraft community as a whole.

TL;DR: It has to do with mutual respect among competitors and sportsmanship. The strong aversion to people not saying GG is simply the result of Eastern Asian cultural influence.

This supports the whole IdrA is not a douchebag arguement. He refuses to lie if he thinks the game was bullshit.

Appeasement is a slippery slope, I agree with the OP, People put too much weight into two letters.

I'm just going to walk out of the next tennis match that I think was not a good game. Screw telling the opponent good match. I'll just pack up and walk away.

It's not about appeasement. It's about sportmanship and conduct, norms formed differently for each sport.

It's not some unusual social convention. Go to any playground where games are being played -- it's what people do after the game. Here's a bunch of little kids after playing soccer, saying 'good game' to every single player on the other team: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wwworks/3434735884/
