I've seen a lot of people claiming to be a hacker, some get called a hacker for using cheats in a game (DL and inject).

What makes a hacker?

[Nuk3]

A hacker is a person who breaks into a database of sort and steals account/causes grief.

People who inject shit into their games and cheat are called cheaters.

Personally myself, I'm no hacker, I just like to have fun. But in all honesty I would say a hacker doesn't define themselves as what the modern day would define as a hacker, they do what they do because they need and/or want something for reason, not for shits and gigs or to dominate over others.

No. The meaning of being a hacker goes deeper to than just games. A real hacker wouldn't call himself a hacker but those who do a chump. For example, Anonymous, they call themselves Hacktivists yes but they strive for change and human rights. They don't waste their time on games because they have bigger fish to fry.

Well by deffinition a hacker is a grey hat term meaning both good and bad come out of them versus a cracker whos sole purpose is to please only there needs by destroying manipulating and stealing.

The term 'hacker' became unclear nowadays. In my opinion, creativity makes the difference.
