Dean Takahashi, a tech reporter who covers the video game scene, is leaving his post at the San Jose Mercury-News at the end of February.
Takahashi, author of books detailing the development of both the Xbox (
Opening the Xbox) and Xbox 360 (
The Xbox 360 Uncloaked), dropped GP an e-mail to say that he will be joining the staff of
Venture Beat as a blogger.
We will miss Dean's excellent
game coverage for the Merc, and wish him well in his new gig.
UPDATE: Dean has penned his
farewell column...

I also don't blame him for leaving after the Cheif editor came out in support of the Cali anti-game law.
He was one of the very few journalists who consistently wrote great articles on the video gaming industry.
I thought the exact same thing.
That's sad, I hope we get more people like him in future years.
