Degrees are versatile things, and the specialisation within a field doesn't necessarily mean that much when looking for jobs or further education: it's often more about emphasis rather than different skill sets when compared to related fields. For instance, a bachelor's degree in one area of the biomedical sciences would qualify you for a job in pretty much all of them.

It's not just the games industry. Apparently 90% of all acts signed to music labels lose money for their publisher, it's just the remaining 10% generally make much more than the 90% lose. It's often worth sticking with them because they never know when one of those 90% will release a song/album that will make them big. I imagine it's similar in movies and books, too.
