Blizzard has "Unannounced Game Title", need "tools engineer"
The Blizzard development plate is already heavy with Diablo III, StarCraft II and their new 'Titan' MMO, but they've obviously got a side-dish or two spare.
The veteran PC studio outfit wants a software engineer for their "newest game team". It doesn't appear linked to 'Titan' as it's under a different category.

Keeping development of World of Warcraft, StarCraft II, Diablo III and the 'Titan' MMO project forever held close to the Blizzard studio chest is hard work.

Blizzard co-founder Frank Pearce says they "recognize that somewhere, sometime" World of Warcraft's populace will be cannibalized, but hopefully by 'Titan'.
At least that way they're "still a Blizzard customer." There's plenty more room for big MMO titles "to share customers," and grow the global MMO market.

Who says the Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO has the chance to grow the MMO market? Was it some EA PR lackey? No, it was Blizzard boss Frank Pearce.
He says "if done right" it could see the MMO market expand, which is "very important to the industry" and not just EA. It's expected to launch this September.
