Since the launch of StarCraft 2 earlier this year, Blizzard's Battle.net matchmaking system has proven to be an invaluable tool for communicating with friends and organizing matches across multiple Blizzard products. But what if there were more than just Blizzard games on Battle.net? Greg Canessa, project director for Blizzard's online service, discussed exactly that in a recent interview with Gamasutra.
"I'll tell you this, Bobby Kotick and all the folks at Activision are very supportive of Battle.net and what we're doing," Canessa said, calling Battle.net "one of the top five strategic initiatives going on at Activision Blizzard."
He continued, "Today, [the focus is] Blizzard games, and making sure Diablo III is a kick-ass online experience, and making sure we evolve and add features of StarCraft II, make sure that WoW kicks ass for Cataclysm and beyond."
"Someday, maybe we add other titles in there, who knows," he added. "When we really feel like we've delivered that great set of experiences for Blizzard games, and we feel that we've grown the team... when I've got that sustainability, when we really feel like we've got that dialed in and nailed down, who knows what the future holds."
