The problem with majoring in game design is that in narrows your market. Majoring Computer/Software engineering gives you more freedom if the game market isn't hiring. Basically its get a job in the gaming industry or getting a low paying job doing something you hate rather than getting a good paying job doing something you hate.
I majored in Chemical Engineering and knew people that majored in Petroleum Engineering. The petrol guys have to work withing the petrol industry and most gas companies aren't hiring now. I can get hired just as easily as them in the petrol field and get a job at any other chemical plant.
Bottom line, try not to limit your market.
