COMMUNITY QUESTION
What will cause a pcall of getasync to fail?
1 answer
The pcall function is there because it is not guaranteed that the player has data already saved. If the DataStore can't find the data saved, it will return an error.

Data store requests are web requests, and you can't guarantee that all web requests will be always successful.
