Newsweek games writer N'Gai Croal says farewell to journalism photo

After 13 years with Newsweek covering consumer technology and videogames, journalist N'Gai Croal will be leaving the game. 

In an interview with Gamasutra's Leigh Alexander, Croal talks about his decision to leave Newsweek, and his future plans, which include creative consulting for game developers. Croal will continue to write about industry observations publicly on the soon-to-be-launched NGaiCroal.com, and continuing his column for Edge magazine.

Whether you agree with Croal's writing and opinions, his influence on gaming and industry discussion can't be ignored. In a consulting capacity, it'll be interesting to see how he shapes future projects and titles with his insight on games and gamers in general. 

As friends and (former) colleagues, we here at Destructoid wish N'Gai the best of luck.

That's what Reggie looks like when he thinks about Earthbound fans.

Actually, I thought that's what Reggie looks like when you ask about adding an external hard drive, reducing approved waggle-ware, or allowing Japanese Wii games in the States. You know, asking about things that Wii gamers actually want.

Sad to see him leave. I liked his opinion on most topics.

Croal's the Al Sharpton of the games journalism industry. He can't retire soon enough.
