http://www.blogcdn.com/www.wowinsider.com/media/2009/05/gregcanessa.jpgRumours are abounding (http://www.kotaku.com.au/2009/05/blizzard-hires-casual-games-gure-from-popcap/) from the Australian arm of Kotaku (http://www.kotaku.com.au/) (and our own Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/11/greg-canessa-leaves-popcap-for-blizzard-working-on-online-proje/)) that PopCap (http://www.popcap.com/)'s CEO Greg Canessa is joining Blizzard. Given the success of their WoW addons for Peggle (http://www.wowinsider.com/tag/peggle/) and (my personal favourite) Bejweled (http://www.wowinsider.com/tag/bejeweled/), the hiring of the man who helped launch Xbox Live Arcade is quite exciting.
Kotaku are reporting Canessa will be joining the teams responsible for Diablo and World of Warcraft. However they don't actually cite a source and Blizzard apparently didn't respond for a comment 'immediately', which is quite an odd way to phrase it.
WoW Insider has contacted Blizzard and are awaiting their response.http://www.wowinsider.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.wowinsider.com)Kotaku reporting that Blizzard has hired PopCap VP (http://www.wowinsider.com/2009/05/12/kotaku-reporting-that-bizzard-has-hired-popcap-vp/) originally appeared on WoW Insider (http://www.wowinsider.com) on Tue, 12 May 2009 16:00:00 EST.
