Not at all. Its also for people who want to legitimately expand upon their favorite game or perhaps create a new one based off of an already popular game for that system. I will admit that there are quite a few noobs who think they're the flax because they can use easy tools like Lunar Magic or AdvanceMap to "create" a slightly modified version of a game. However, there is also a very large amount of great rom hacks and talented individuals in the rom hacking community. Quality work can definitely be produced from a rom hack, especially when a community decides to work together.
