Gaming in the living room is FACTUALLY NOT the norm... thread built my first gaming PC it was still the early 90s and not even 15 yo, had my computer hook up to a TV back in the 2000s... Been using my PC as a TV tuner since the XBox 360, have had a NAS for media content streaming since before Netflix or Pandora whatever was the first music or movie streaming service was a thing.... So I'm pretty sure I know my shit when it comes to nerdism.... But since I ain't a student in a dorm, not only PC gaming lost interest for me (and yeah that's personal) but even without that I wouldn't do it... |

It takes me all of 10 seconds(because of low remote batteries) to play Sims 4 on my TV, I choose not to because I prefer my laptop screen or somebody else is watching TV. HDMI ports are standard, HDMI cords are cheap as hell, if you've bought a console in the past decade, you've got a PC controller (yes, even Wii). I may be a genius/rocket scientist, but I'm sure at least half of those millions of players can plug an HDMI cable into a port ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).
If you've got a tower, you probably don't want to move that shit and playing on an OMG WOW TV is not worth the effort
