BSCS OR BSSE for Game programming?

I am pretty late to reply. Sorry for that, but definitely as everyone mentioned earlier go for BS (CS).
It is more vast and you touch every field slightly which gives you an edge at time of your final year
project/thesis to decide better about your research interest or specialization. It also depends on universities and their faculty.
What they have to offer, when I did my bachelors we were lucky to have diverse faculty at COMSATS Islamabad to give us in
depth view of computer graphics, AI and simulation in general and much more.
Software engineering will also be part of CS degree program, there are definitely 3-4 courses.
So, its not just the degree, you definitely need to look at the courses and faculty of your intended university.
Also, once you have good grip on C++ programming language, you can easily land into game programming by doing some extra courses online.
Now a days, it is very easy to get insight of game programming and development for FREE courses on UDEMY and UDACITY ( New generation is very lucky =D ).
Look for courses of C++. As a starter, I would definitely not recommend to use GAME ENGINEs, as first you should brush up your concepts of C++ and OOP.
Once you get good knowledge of how everything works under the hood. Then you can use any tool to make an application.

Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming. -

if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff. -
SolitarySoldier:
Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol

"These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out. -
XPremiuM:
They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

XPremiuM:
What's the f*** is wrong with them? I mean really? Have they completely lost it? F***ing retards.

So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.Necrokiller said:
