TikToker,  named  Aaron Wilkinson gained widespread attention for his recent remarks regarding individuals who continue gaming beyond the age of 25.

It is clear that gaming has evolved significantly over the years.

Nowadays, there are various games available for players, encompassing a diverse array of genres and platforms, including mobile gaming, historical strategy games, and more.

Additionally, there are even advancements in technology aiming to incorporate sensory experiences, such as smell, into gameplay. 

However, a Tiktoker sparked debate on social media after claiming that gamers over 25 need to 'grow up'

In the viral video, TikToker @itsaaronwilkinson makes a bold statement about gaming after the age of 25.

He stirred up debate by asserting that individuals should not engage in gaming after turning 26.

In the footage, he explained that there are increased responsibilities such as parenthood and partnership, citing them as reasons to 'grow up' and move on from gaming.

 “You gotta grow up," he said. "You can’t be gaming, as a dad, as a partner, as a husband. It just doesn’t make sense to me."

"Sat there with your headphones on while your missus makes your dinner."

"I grew out of that, a lot of my mates grew out of that as well. CoD with the boys at 26? I got stuff to do, mate.” He added. 

Below the video, several users reacted to the statement.

Wilkinson's comments ignited a response from social media users, with many expressing skepticism and irony towards his stance. 

One person said: Mad that you say this about gaming but you’re filming yourself in your car making a TikTok you wet fart 

A second wrote: YOURE 26!!!! I’m a girl gamer I’m 30 you will not get me off the PlayStation in my free time, absolute melt 

While a third commented: Are there any other recreational activities that are deemed unacceptable, or at 25 do we have to break out the crossword puzzles from the Guardian?

Someone else said: Just stuck my Xbox on Amazon pal and going to start making tiktoks in my car like a real man.

Another added: If your neglecting your adult responsibilities to game then I agree with you but after my kid is in bed and dinner is sorted what’s the issue? 

In response to the criticism, Aaron Wilkinson stated that he remains unaffected by others' opinions, maintaining his perspective on the matter.
