Why rewards always devalue the game experience

I see your point, but since this is about "fun", no objective answers can really be drawn. It varies from person to person, game to game, and hinges on many other factors as well. I don't really mind rewards systems unless they impact gameplay; even then, it depends on the situation. In fact, my main issue with gameplay altering rewards is that they can make it hard for new/losing players to get good. But I digress. I did go for the Gold Visor and Cortana voice in Halo: Reach, but I really didn't play differently. I did go for challenges that I might not have, but nothing beyond that. While conclusions can certainly be drawn about this, it is a subjective issue; people will disagree on it, but noone is really wrong. Well, someone stating an opinion as a fact is wrong in that respect, but their opinion is still valid.
