SEATTLE, Washington - May 14, 2007 - PopCap Games®, the leading developer and publisher of casual games, today announced that it has hired Andrew Stein to the newly-created position of Director of Mobile Business Development.

Andrew's experience with both the business of mobile games and the production of traditional and video games is uncommon, and makes for a perfect fit with our organization."

"While spearheading the marketing of mobile games for the largest cellular carrier in North America over the past several years, I've seen PopCap's games show up on the top-ten lists month after month," said Mr. Stein.
