What is the difference between game.Players and game:GetService("Players")?
It's just something I wonder everytime I see people's scripts. Why is 'game:GetService("Players") ' more used than just 'game.Players'? Is It safer or something?

Based on this thread from 2016:
:GetService() calls will always return the service, while directly indexing it within game may not. For example, if it hasn't been created yet.
Calling :GetService() is the generally accepted best practice.
