What's the point of GlobalDatastore and how is it useful? [RE]

So, basically, I've been looking at the Roblox developer hub and I came across GlobalDataStores. The wiki didn't really explain sufficient information.

My question is How are GlobalDataStores Useful.

What's the difference between GlobalDataStores and Datastores What's the point of globaldatastores?

Global Data Stores are useful if you're putting data on the same game (or universe). If you're only using data for only one game, then I highly suggest DataStoreService. Global Data Stores are fine for if you have another game in the same universe. However, I suggest you use Teleport along with the 3rd parameter, to transfer data. (Research TeleportService.)

Also there's no difference between the two apart from the DataStoreService might be being a bit faster.
