You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve?
    Find the best way of getting a service

  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    I dont know whether i should use game: GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”) or game.ReplicatedStorage

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?

My topic was deleted, so i am rewriting the question in a way that complies with the community guidelines.

I am wondering if there is a difference between game.ReplicatedStorage and game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”). Which one is better to refer to replicated storage in lua script, in compatibility and such. Let me know!

I also recommend you search online (even on the forum) before asking. This has been asked before.

game.Service just references the Service if the service is offline or for whatever reason broken it will error.
So effectively speaking using game:GetService(“Service”) is better because it checks if the service is online and handle any errors with the service.
