So, it was actually in the game? The term โMetaโ in this context?
Iโm curious about the origin of the term, so if it came from star craft, that would be the answer Iโm looking for.
It's more like knowing that "people online will do that, so I have to do this". The mind game between the players. But I think you already got some better answers.
I don't think it originated from StarCraft, that's just where I recall first hearing it.
