Yup. I have a Switch, PS5, and a decent PC that can run most games fine on mid settings. I use the PC for gaming far less than the others partly because I prefer to play games on the TV sitting on the couch and partly because I like buying physical for trading in and buying used games. OSes designed for M+K just don't lend themselves well to TV playing. If consoles move to being digital only, though, that advantage will be gone and I will look into a Steam Deck or whatever decently priced PC with an OS designed for TV + controller play is out there.

    Couldn't you just use Steam Big Picture + Controller for TV play?

    Possibly, but I'm not dragging my computer into the living room every time I want to play it on the big TV. Need a dedicated one for that.

    Or a long cable. It just depends on how things are located. Steam Link could also work, depending on how good your wifi is and if your TV supports it.
