If you don't want it then don't work there. If you feel strongly enough about it then don't buy their products. Capitalism will quickly filter out any irresponsible companies.
OK, just because a Novell programmer added VBA support doesn't automatically mean MS is going to start suing people over it. If that does happen remember that MS has to actually prove that it was stolen. That's a pretty tall order considering that it probably wasn't. Why does Slashdot have to take something good and spin it into a bad thing?
Any game degree is laughed at by most IT shops. I've always thought of gaming majors as kids who just want to play, whereas people with a CS degree are more serious about their work. Whether or not that's true in all cases is another story, but when an employer is looking at your resume and he sees "Masters in Videogame Devel" he's not going to take you seriously; it doesn't matter how good you are. And remember that if your goal is actually to be a videogame developer I still say go with CS. You can still be a game programmer with a CS degree plus you have a more general degree to fall back on.
