Statistical data and performance metrics collected from video games or sports games.
Compound word formed from 'game' (Old English 'gamen' meaning joy, fun) and 'stats' (shortened from 'statistics', from Latin 'status' meaning state or condition). This modern compound emerged with the rise of digital gaming and data analytics in the late 20th century.
The obsession with gamestats reflects humanity's ancient love of quantifying achievement - from ancient Olympic records to modern leaderboards. Video games have democratized statistics, making every player their own personal sports analyst.
