Problem solved. Personally I feel it's easier to game in a separate room versus hog the main TV. I'd never get to play if my hardware was hooked up in the living room.

Buy your wife a Switch so you can game with her wherever you are in the house. Then she can get so good at Mario Kart that she whips your ass every time you play. =/
My PC is in my bedroom. Also, being single means I have a lot more freedom, leisure time and disposable income.
I actually find it harder to play console games. My PS4 is hooked up to my monitor, so all I have to do is switch inputs but it's hard to find the motivation when I have so many games on PC and switching between gaming/browsing/movies/music/etc is so seamless.

You can add any game you wish to Steam. You can then launch them through the Steam Link Big Picture menu. UPlay and GOG games work with no extra effort. Origin games need some extra love (but there's a launcher that does all the work). I've even played UWP games in this manner.
Also, with Moonlight, if you launch Steam through Moonlight instead of a game directly, you can then run anything that's in your Steam library (including non-Steam games you've added).
You can also use in-home streaming with a laptop or a Ps Vita or your phone with something like the 8bitdo extender, so your PC gaming becomes a bit more portable if you don't want to hook it to the TV.

Yeah we do game when moonlight or steam link works properly. Some games end up being a gigantic pain in the ass.
It's in my own bedroom so... unless the chair has spikes, I don't see any reason to not use it and play games or do other stuff like post in ERA.
My PC is in the living room, and I have both a Steam Link and a gaming monitor at a separate desk with a comfy chair. As long as I keep my desk clean (no junk on my desk, pc underneath the desk, no RGB madness etc), my wife is fine with that.
I would probably game a lot less if I had to sit alone in a separate room upstairs.
What's it like in there? :)

Man... This so much.
It's one of the reasons I'm starting to game less and less on the PC, add in the PS exclusives and baam there goes my PC gaming time
Pretty simple 3 steps plan:
- I don't have a TV
- I don't have dogs
- I don't have a wife
I supposed OP would talk about too many games or interesting things you can do with a PC, but actually it seems he can't be bothered to walk up the stairs... Must have taken an arrow to the knee or something.
Same for me, i love my pc but hate being at my desk all day long... Consoles are more easy to just boot and relax on the couch and i dont like having to move my pc to my HT because i need to sit at my desk to work so it would be constantly moving.
My PC sits under my TV so as long as my wife isn't occupying it, I can game as much as I can on my consoles, depending on my mood. I actually find it easier, if anything, because I'm usually on my computer web browsing, watching netflix, youtube etc, so the effort to boot up steam and get a game going is less than having to turn on a separate system( console) to do it.
This is far too circumstantial to frame it as a general question towards a specific group of people.

Did you get Captain N'ed into your computer or is it just a full sized ATX tower that you climb inside?
