Edge Online has picked up a rumor that Tony Williams, the chief operating officer of Codemasters, has unexpectedly left the company while Codemasters has yet to make an official announcement.
Williams was the managing director at Bam! Entertainment, which was responsible for Carmen Sandiego: Secret of the Stolen Drums, Wallace & Gromit in Project Zoo, and various Cartoon Network video game adaptations, until coming on board with Codemasters in 2005. Edge Online has been unable to confirm his absence, as their calls to Codemasters were left unanswered.
Codemasters is responsible for publishing Jumpgate Evolution and Lord of the Rings Online Europe, as well as ArchLord in the United States.

Update: Codemasters has confirmed the departure of Williams, stating that he had "stepped down" from his role as part of a "phased departure". Codemasters added that Williams will still focus on special projects for the company.

Probably saw the shitstorm that was Book 7 update and decided it was best to leave the company than work for a bunch of idiots that is now Turbine.

Holy crap, I'm downloading LOTR right now to escape the craptacular 3.1 patch in WoW. I'll be gutted if a similar pants situation is occurring in LOTR.
