I think HN and Reddit really underestimate just how much of a bother many of us find hooking things up like that. This sounds like an amazing idea to me too: I am definitely a target consumer, and I by no means lack tech saviness.

So many cords and things to install. I've become really lazy when it comes to games. Part of me just wants to play a game without putting in work to do so.

Well, plug in one cord and use a wireless controller.
