It&#8217;s really useful \u2014 they especially measure these points of friction,&#8221; Jirsa explained. &#8220;They say, &#8216;Okay, this is the friction point.&#8217; People are getting confused, they are getting confused, or a little angry, and this percentage of people said they would stop playing the game at this moment.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"slideshow\" data-slug=\"the-best-rpg-of-2025\" data-value=\"the-best-rpg-of-2025\" data-type=\"slug\" data-caption=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>&#8220;The usual answer is, &#8216;Okay, let&#8217;s get rid of the friction.&#8217; We don&#8217;t work like that.
