I understand what you are telling people who just change HEX values here, but to be honest, anything that modifies any file is considered hacking or cheating.
Now I agree, there are different levels of hacking, there are people who can hack bank accounts, there are people who can hack PCs, there are people that can hack consoles, but most hacking always starts with the smallest pieces, you can't just go straight into nulling and expect to be the best hacker there is, you must know the basics, and the reason I have "hacked" (modified) games via gamesave, is because I know what i'm doing, you cant just expect anyone to hack any gamesave, it takes someone to know what they are actually doing.
