A very beautiful thing about video games is that they don’t age and neither do they let their players age. Something similar happened when the internet just got crazy over a grandpa playing Call of Duty.
Call of Duty after its initial release in 2003 became one of the most sold video game franchises in the world. This was also because of how Activision was so much innovative with the game. Fans even today have the same nostalgia for the game, while it is being passed on to other generations. That happened recently when a TikTok video showed a grandpa playing CoD Vanguard.

Gaming has no age limit and the grandpa proved it
In a viral video from TikTok gaming sensation, Butch Wendt, also known as Grandpa Butch, he can be seen playing COD Vanguard. During the video, he was playing Polina’s Russian Sniper part of the main campaign. And while firing on one NPC he said, “F*** You, Little Boy!”
The 85-year-old grandpa is a Call of Duty fanatic and has a TikTok account with over 10.2M likes and 350.3K fans. He went viral on TikTok in 2021 for playing Call of Duty, where he roasted furries in a hilarious manner.

After that, he became very popular, and many TikTok stars reacted to his videos. Even LADbible shared a video montage for the 85 years old.
Unfortunately, it was announced that the official TikTok account of Grandpa Butch is going to get banned for cussing. This has made his followers very upset because he was getting very likable and could have become even an internet sensation.
Why do some fans think that Call of Duty does not have that nostalgia anymore?

Many fans, even after playing so many Call of Duty installments each year, feel like the franchise has been dying. This is because Call of Duty is played almost every day by fans, and the community has its own disputes.
