I like when hard difficulties encourage you to use every mechanic the game has. I like feeling pressured to use rare consumables in boss fights.
Change difficulty of games to easy

So why play video games? They are inherently about being challenged. It's the shittiest medium you could pick for "relaxing."

Because they're video games, they're meant to be relaxing, think about how many games in today's world come with a "insanely easy" mode that basically makes you a God, it's because video game companies want their games to be more relaxing and more about the story
Hell even God of War came with a "Story mode" setting, you can still enjoy video games without them being insanely hard for little to no reward.

The problem is that these types of people (, , aka normalfags) exclusively play moviegames, where gameplay sections are just filler between the next cutscene or action setpiece. For people who play good games (me), the game loses all entertainment value on easy mode.

No, it's because it increases sales.
>you can still enjoy video games without them being insanely hard for little to no reward
Nobody said anything about making them insanely hard. But if you want to relax after a day of work, why in the world would you choose to engage with a medium which is inherently about presenting challenges to the player? Wouldn't you want to read a book or watch TV or something else that is a more passive experience?

As illustrated in , they call easy mode "story mode", because they know the people who """play""" those games don't actually care about the gameplay. Hence the term moviegame

The only games nowadays that have any sort of challenge are NEET indie games that barely anyone plays, the future of gaming is casual as shit and there's nothing you nerds can do about it.

>Is there a reason to play games on ultra hard?
not unless they add mechanics (which they never do). High difficulties are pointless, just play normal/easy.
