By games do they mean gambling games or literally random videogames like StarCraft? And if so why is this something the police are involved in? What laws were even broken?

They were selling cheats, which can(I don't know if it did here) involve selling software ilegally. So no different than busting someone selling illegal copies of windows in the old days.
