"Good game, easy." Legendary post-match taunt typed after a stomp. So iconic Blizzard banned the phrase in Overwatch and added an auto-reply "thanks for the great game!" to dilute it. Players found workarounds within hours. The phrase and the ban both live on.
"Easy." Typed in chat after winning a match, often as a taunt. "GG EZ" is the classic post-game flex that Blizzard famously banned in Overwatch because it generated so many reports. The brag and the block button live one keystroke apart.
A negative GG is a sportsmanship callout weaponized into an insult — most famously 'gg ez,' but also any GG delivered with obvious contempt, sarcasm, or condescension. It wears the costume of good sport behavior while doing the exact opposite. Negative GGs are a staple of toxic gaming culture: technically you typed 'good game,' but everyone in the lobby knows what you actually meant. Some games have added automated warnings or filters specifically because of negative GGs, which tells you everything about how commonly they're deployed.

Good game, well played. The traditional sign-off after a competitive online match, complimenting the opposing team on a clean game.
