I think you should be using something like this -
${__evalVar(gameId_${C })}

Maybe have a look at the For Each Controller instead of the loop
controller; 
it's more suited to looping over variables in the format that your
variables 
are in (var_n)

If that doesn't work for you, you can try something like this (I use
this and 
it works);

${__BeanShell(vars.get("sns.testdata." + vars.get("current.sns") +
".user"))}

which takes the value of "current.sns" e.g. 'BB' and when resolved, the
value 
for the variable 'sns.testdata.BB.user' is returned successful

Noel
