Bit idea: be considerate, helpful, kind, and patient to the people you're playing a game with, or even playing against, and if you get any pushback for that, say "it's just a game." (hexbear.net)

Maybe it's the specific games I play, but consistently in those games, it's the person griping about how other people played or their loadouts or how the game's sucked since a specific patch and that the weapons aren't "skilled" enough or the like that then tops it off with a bitter whiny "gg" afterward.

Most certainly the case. In rts games the social convention is that "gg" concedes the game while leaving the game without saying "gg" is considered rude and implies some level of saltiness.

That's odd to me, because I often see "gg" used immediately after or as part of complaining about the match or insulting the other team (or their own team).

Could be. I only really play Dead by Daylight now which has text chat in the post game. I'd say 50% of lobbies are silent, 30% are polite (gg/glng), 15% are good vibes (ggwp, discuss builds/strat) and 5% are dogshit (trash talk/whining). Even at one game in twenty it's enough to sour it for me.

I can't imagine putting myself through text/voice comms with randos in games like you describe. I played Apex for a bit and I went full text/voice mute. Not worth the angst.
