"GetDataStore("Tutorial3816310153")" <-- This part is the most concerning one.

game:GetService() gets the data store service used to make data stores, and :GetData store is a function of the data store service that gets the specified data store for the script to be able to access the data in the data store. So basically all it does is gets the data store and sets it as a variable to so you can do stuff with it such as accessing and adding data Sulu710 142 — 5y

This just means that he is getting the datastore, so he can set up the saving and loading system now, or in near future.
