Head-to-head / .gg vs .games
.gg vs .games
Verdict: .gg wins.
The community layer vs the catalog layer. .gg is gamer slang made infrastructure (thanks, Discord) — right for communities, teams, tournaments, anything social. .games is the literal label — right for studios and publishers listing what they make. Most gaming brands touching community should lean .gg.
