I'm not sure about this article. No doubt games with traditional controls cannot be played skillfully on tablets. However I would say there are many games on mobile devices requiring thought and skill without needing the dexterity of manipulating a gamepad. There are lots of adventure games (Monkey Island series, The Walking Dead etc.) and strategy games (Xcom, Frozen Synapse etc.) on these platforms. Not to mention stuff like Word games (e.g Letterpress) and most RPG's could easily be controlled via touchscreen.
