If you focus on the development side I think you can still apply your degree to other computer science jobs. Most companies just make simulators anyway, which are essentially games.

Stem being a meme is a meme, but being a game dev with a CS degree is harder than it looks

There are plenty of jobs and it's easier to find work with a STEM degree than any other focus that isn't education or physical therapy and the like
Nowadays, if you want the big bucks you have to be a great game dev, be willing to shill and hustle/jive for libjournobucks, or sell out and a ton of hollow games you can shit out in under half a day
Game Development is more like trying to survive as an artist rather than survive as a computer scientist
You have to find regular job that doesn't allow you to fully create what you want or you have to have a massive fanbase through marketing

But honestly, you might as well try

I guess i could, but the way you say it makes it sound like you'd be in a worst position than artists, and they kind of have it bad already

You would be in a worse position
At least artists can sell their work once they are finished
Unless you are also an artist (or find a creative way to work around your lack of art skils), you're dead in the water

Game programmers need artists to make games
It's fine if you're also an artist, but if not you have to compensate

True, true, sucks really, imagine all the people who learn game development or whatever getting destroyed because they can't get a job
