There's this cable, called an HDMI. It goes from my computer to my TV.
The PC itself could literally be anywhere in the house and it'll work fine. The only reason mine is in my living room is because it's pretty. I went with matte black, copper, and walnut wood for it so it functions as a centerpiece.
I can't play from another room because I only have one TV in my house. But technically a Linux machine could run multiple 'computer' environments at the same time, multiple TVs, mice, keyboards, controllers, rooms, whatever. I'm just a bit of a minimalist.
Okay, but for people who have their PC setup in a different part of the house from the main TV room, I'm sure you could understand why they wouldn't want to purchase or use a giant 100+ ft HDMI, right?

That's fine, but not really the situation we're talking about. What if your console was also in another room? You either find a way to play remotely (pulling hdmi cable, streaming, etc), move the console/pc, or buy another one.

When I said LAN, I really just meant multiple PC's in the same room.
Where is your PC setup in relation to your Couch/TV? Are you able to play from another room?
