The things start to lose their meaning, becomes a bit pointless if everyone says it as a formality. It is one thing to actually mean it, and another for there to be examples of ggs at the end of a game followed by rage whispers.
In guild wars we often say ty at the end of a run, like thanks for the group or thanks for playing. I much prefer this style of formality.
IIRC, GG (vs. gg) with capital G’s is to denote a much more well played game? However, I do caps a nontrivial amount of times b/c I simply forget my Caps Lock is on.

Yeah… I’ve certainly been known to accidentally hit caps lock during a game before.
I’d say gg and glhf are largely formalities, in the same vein as a teller always says hello and have a nice day, tagging on a wp is where I would say it becomes more meaningful.
Then where does (gg) (to summon the picture version) fit in that logic?
edit: on a personal note, I traded “glhf” for simple “hi” or “hello”, except some rare cases when playing on Casual (either me or the ally or both), but NEVER “glhf” for a Hard player. My gg have become more rare too (especially since some games are a chore, and gg is for the game of both, including mine), but they happen… (more rarely with other in Hard, unless they beat my expectations by knowing how to play, AND playing)
So you’re asking why there isn’t a (GG) with capital G’s? AFAIK, there isn’t one. Yeah, it’s possible “GG” was never a thing. I just assumed b/c I’ve seen very few cases of capital “gl” or “hf”, or “wp”
I don’t think it’s that. WW is just how gg comes up in korean.
It’s Well Won. I’ve seen it too many times and asked about it in various games between SC2 and DotA 2.
What a debate lmao…
It’s as if the exact definition here really matters. All of these points towards a common courtesy acronym given to show good gamesmanship.
The meanings themselves have like 0 real implications. Do people seriously go into a game and their partner said “hf”, and they go “hmm guess I don’t need good luck this game, har har har!”
Similarly then when they don’t say gg, ww, or wp and you’d go “awww shucks, guess it was a bad game”.
I’ve been watching streams where a Korean types ww, and the caster has said multiple times that’s Korean for gg.
Actually, you said GG is better than gg.
So I was wondering if the image version is above all, below all or in the middle.
good game and well won are essentially the same thing though.
