Use of ModuleScripts

So I see that many people use ModuleScript all the time in their games. I know that is some kind of script that you can use to make built-in functions and stuff. But what is the reason devs choose them over regular scripts more often?

Because any script can access them, they can store tables, functions. Main reason is because its like a service that can be accessed anywhere, instead of repeating the same code in different scripts, you can require a module and use it.

A table for storing data:

GameData = [
ServerUpTime = 0000,
PlayersInServer = 40,
]

Functions for global access:

function Module.PrintMessage(message)
   print(message)
end)

Let’s take that you want something to happen when a an event fires in game right.Now instead of writing code everytime it happens,module allow you to require the code from it and use it.
