You can plug a PC into a TV and even use Xbox and PS controllers if you like. Can have the PC auto start Steam in Big Screen mode so you’d seldom need to use a mouse+KB (trackballs or keyboards with trackpads are best in this scenario). Nothing wrong with console gaming though (well, besides supporting all the non-free software, locked-down systems, and shit companies; but most games you likely play are these as well).
I did this a while back. To be fair a “mini” ITX case is still relatively enormous, and I stopped upgrading it when graphics cards turned into magic beans for crypto-bros and got mega expensive.
that’s too much work. i have to setup controller profiles. i have to update drivers. i have to custome mod drivers or game files to get them to run.
my playstation… just fucking works. zero effort required. download game, play game. everything is done for me. my time goes into actually playing the game.
baffles me that y’all can’t see the mass appeal of that simplicity. not everyone is a linux nerd who wants to write custom drivers to play a game or load buggy emulators.
most peopel just want to play a game and enjoy it. not deal with endless bullshit.
