> Why the table? Just place the tablet on your laps and use both hands

Because that seems incredibly awkward and uncomfortable?

It's not. I ended up putting thousands of hours into Fortnite on iOS too (so glad it got pulled - that stopped me playing!)

Playing on the table is one way - but it hurt my neck too much. I preferred the "claw grip" on my phone while laying on the couch - though I could only comfortably do 3 fingers. Some of the best mobile players do 6!

Look at this 6-finger claw technique: https://youtu.be/0SUCmew8BQE
I find it funny how, 10 years later, there are still games that require claw technique https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnW-ganA2cM
Showing that people do it doesn't make it good...
