It depends on the hacker.

Most hackers seek to damage, deface, or destroy the computer's normal function.

Some seek to steal credit cards, phone numbers, and mailing addresses for identity theft, spam, or fraud.

A few seek to obtain email account passwords, game passwords, IM passwords, and other passwords.

Rarely, some may seek private data such as pictures, work documents, or industry secrets (such as R&D or marketing papers).

I've never heard of a hacker attempting to steal games themselves from a PC, since games can easily be stolen by easier, less risky means.

Some also hack solely to get in- and never touch anything. Just to prove they can. This is popular to do against security personnel, administrators, and large corporations or banks due to the extreme challenge.
