100% yes. Touch controls suck for gaming because your fingers drift. There's no physical feedback that your fingers are on top of the button and ready to press.

It sucks, and I really really hope that this doesn't catch on.
- bartread 5y agoHaha, yeah... well... brace for the impact of a passing but possibly prolonged fad. It happened once before when the iPhone 2G and 3G came out, plus some of the early Samsung Android tablets. I'd say it's likely to go bigger this time simply because high quality, powerful, touch-enabled devices are so much more ubiquitous now. It does remind me of the car touch control fad a bit.
- barbs 5y agoI doubt it will, thankfully. Touch controls have been around for a long time on smartphones so lots of people have already had a chance to see how crappy they are.
- trixie_ 5y agoIt’s not perfect, but for FPS shooters touch aiming is closer to a mouse. I wish there were controllers with the joysticks replaced with touch pads. There was the Steam controller but it’s discontinued. The reason is that like a mouse, movement on a touch pad is final. You don’t need to ‘return to center’ like with a joystick to stop moving. With added gyro assist, aiming is even better. Call of Duty and PubG are pretty good on mobile, the aim speed is better than console and drift is avoided because the screen and controller are one in the same.
