I disagree in saying that games are "easier", games are much more in number than they use to be. Which makes a lot of them being easier and a lot of games now days are target at an extremely young audience so they are made easy.
But we still have hard games. Dark Souls isn't exactly easy, nor is Catherine, especially on the harder difficulties.

I enjoy difficulty to a point, but I also enjoy being able to relax and have a good time. One of the various reasons I like multiplayer games so much.
