Well, most hackers at that level do it for the fun of "solving the puzzle" so to speak. Hacking in order to cheat would be... besides the point. It's not really fun to play a game that you broke with cheats.

There are bigger problems than breaking the game if someone does hack a game company's servers anyway. Game companies have an obligation to try their best not to get hacked, and if they do, it's their top priority to fix it ASAP. The game code *should* be on completely different servers behind different encryptions than their customer info databases, but still, getting hacked should be taken very seriously. A while ago, Blizzard got hacked a little (but because they did their security correctly, no important info such as passwords and credit cards were exposed). Still, as was required, they had to inform all their customers etc.

Usually, hacking is just not a very good thing to do. It can screw up things for a lot of people.
