After the second lost mission attempt, do players retry, lower the difficulty or leave?

Each lost attempt at a campaign mission is a fork: try again, make it easier, or stop. The mix changes with every loss, and it tells you when to offer help. This entry shows how to read what players do after loss number one, two, three and more.

Why this works

What a person does right after a failure tells you how they feel about it. Retrying shows they still believe; lowering the difficulty shows they want to continue but need help; leaving shows they gave up. Looking at the next move after each failure shows where help would land.

When not to use it

Do not use it for games where failing is quick, cheap and funny, such as party or arcade rounds. Retrying there is automatic and says little. Also skip it when the difficulty cannot be changed; then compare retries and leaving only.
