I just say "good teamwork" generally if my team does well like this, its the safest course.

Really it should only be said in cross team chat by the losers of the match, after someone on the losing team says it or in very close games e.g. our team is all dead but we won by points.
Otherwise it is more polite to say it in your team's chat.

Well 12-0 is about as far from a "good game" as it gets so it coming off as sarcastic or deadpan humor rather than a handshake is not so much a generational thing really, just a circumstantial thing.
A salute symbol at the start or end is just a safer bet there too.

Back in the days of Starcraft (not Starcraft II), you would still say GG, even if you crushed your opponent in like 5 mins, (or 2). It is a generational thing. Just like GL HF at the beginning of a match, now that just triggers the "DID YOU JUST ASSUME I CAN'T HAVE FUN!?!?!?" crowd

For instance i was on the "only the loser should say gg as a token of gratitude if he liked the match"-side for a long time and thought that it's kinda arrogant when the winning team says it.
But currently i interpret gg more in a way of a simple "It made fun to play with you guys" regardless if winning or losing. When the winner of a stomp writes it (or even exaggerates it by writing 'gg close'), i interpret it like Paigan as friendly mockery although i usually don't mock the enemy this way by myself.
So most of the time i have no problem with a gg regardless of the circumstances. Online gaming is already salty enough so i don't need to also take such two-character end-of-game comments too seriously.

Except that its insulting in a stomp. It wasn't a good game for all. It was ****. Better off not say anything.
Now in a 12-10 or similar its appropriate!

GG stands for Good Game and would normaly be used as form of fair and sportiv congratulation comming from the loosing Team towards the winning Team.
Used by a member of the winning team towards the loosing team it is at least ironic but sometimes considdered as a verbal form of teabagging and sign of bad sportsmanship, rubbing the loss into the loosers eye.
The oposit would be a polite "sorry for the bad game"...or a simple "thx for the match."
But hey this is the internet and a shooter...so what would you expect.

This is basically the definition of an honest "GG":

However, in this game the term has been corrupted as it is invariably being used by the winners after a stomp, showing obvious disrespect towards the opponent.
And no, you cannot use "gg" to mean "Oh, I'm sorry you had a miserable time, but it was great fun for me!".

I never mean to bother anyone with it, I take no sadistic pleasure in calling a huge blowout a good game for all. Just happens sometimes.

This. For those coming from a sports background, after the match you shake hands and say "good game". It's just basic sportsmanship, and a sign of respect to those that play. We are all part of this MWO community, a pretty small niche of people in this world. Showing some sportsmanship and respect to your fellow players, particularly after a bad beat, improves how players perceive the community and the game.

then again, i tend to ignore most if not all of the non related comms and only share information about what happens during a game.
