About

Gollum Won the Argument is a notification in the 2023 video game The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, which tells the player that the gameplay path preferred by Gollum will be taken. Online, the image has been used as a reaction and an exploitable format in memes.

Origin

On May 25, 2023, German video game developer and publisher Daedalic Entertainment released[1] The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, an action-adventure video game following the story of Gollum/Smeagol, a character from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. At certain sections of the game, the player can pick one of two gameplay paths, one preferred by Gollum and the other by Smeagol. If the player selects the path favored by Gollum and convinces the other ego, the "Gollum won the argument" notification appears (shown below, top, Smeagol version, bottom).
