Comment on Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles
Stegget@lemmy.world 1 week agoTo expand on your point about no tinkering required, the overall UI is also geared for a couch experience. So many people want to just plug in an HDMI cable and go, and consoles make that possible. And I get the desire; I have no regrets about going the PC route but I absolutely understand the whole “I don’t want to sit at a desk when I get home from work” argument. And before anyone talks about putting a PC on the TV, yes it’s possible but it’s not optimized for that kind of experience out of the box.

Very true, and that was also a big reason why I never tried just putting a PC under the TV. Docking the Steam Deck to the TV has shown me that Steam’s Big Picture Mode does a great job giving a console-like experience completely via a controller, though, so that’s where I’m going to be heading once support for PS5 ends.
