[SOLVED] Why is new player data being overwritten with 0?

Hello! I'm pretty new to datastores and I'm currently having a problem where the initial value (1) created in a new player seems to be overwritten with 0 even though there was no data to begin with. There's probably an obvious solution to this, but I can't figure out why this is happening. There are no errors.

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local SkipData = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Skips")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	
	local Skips = Instance.new("IntValue")
	Skips.Name = "Skips"
	Skips.Parent = player
	Skips.Value = 1 -- initial value

local data
local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
	data = SkipData:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-Skips")
end)

	if success then
		Skips.Value = data
	else
		print("There was an error whilst getting your data")
		warn(errormessage)
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	
	local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
		SkipData:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-Skips", player.Skips.Value)
	end)
	
	if success then
		print("Player Data successfully saved!")
	else
		print("There was an error when saving data")
		warn(errormessage)
	end	
end)

game:BindToClose(function()
	if not game:GetService("RunService"):IsStudio() then
		for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
			local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
			SkipData:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-Skips", player.Skips.Value)	
		end)
		if not success then
			warn(errormessage)
		end
		end
	end
end)

Thanks in advance!
