Yesterday we had a story about Greg Canessa, who had decided to move on as vice president of game platforms for PopCap to a new position at Blizzard Entertainment. We thought this meant that Blizzard might be interested in making casual games at the developer. As it turns out; our speculation was wrong.

According to a statement from a Blizzard PR rep to our sister site Joystiq, "He will report to our vice president of online technologies and work closely with the executive team to help fine-tune the next version of Battle.net, currently in development." Battle.net is, of course, Blizzard's hugely popular online multiplayer service. You can bet the revamp is being handled in part because of the upcoming release of StarCraft II which Blizzard has already stated will have lots of new features when it launched "when it's done."
