👉Article
According to Statista, by 2021 there were over 3.2 billion video game players in the world. And both the video game industry and its players have developed many abbreviations for talking about gaming.
An "RPG" is a "role-playing game," or a game where the player controls one or more characters that go on a quest, getting more powerful as the story continues. The world's top-selling RPG series is Pokémon, with over 380 million games sold.
Before video games went online, people could usually only play in pairs or maybe up to four or sometimes six players. But today, gamers can enjoy "MMOs" — "massively multiplayer online" games that let many people play the same game at once.
Popular MMOs include Fortnite and League of Legends, both of which are "F2P," or "free to play." F2P players can enjoy the basic game, but may have to pay for things like better weapons or nicer character designs.
"GG" means "good game," and is often written at the end of online games. Like a handshake, typing "GG" shows that you had fun and thought the other players did great too.

👉Summary
「RPG」是「角色扮演遊戲」,或是玩家操控一位以上角色進行冒險,且隨著故事發展變得更強大的遊戲。 全球最暢銷的RPG系列是《寶可夢》,賣出超過3.8億片的遊戲。現在,玩家可以享受「MMO」,也就是「大型多人線上遊戲」。知名的大型多人線上遊戲包括《要塞英雄》和《英雄聯盟》,兩款都是「F2P」免付費遊戲。 F2P玩家可以享受基本的遊戲內容,但也可以付費買更好的道具。「GG」的意思是「很好的遊戲」,經常會用在線上遊戲結束時。 就跟握手一樣,打出「GG」表示你玩得很開心,也覺得其他玩家表現得很好。有趣的是,台灣網友也會把GG用來表示「完蛋了」的意思。
