Codemasters has laid off its American marketing staff, and plans on shutting the operation down, reports IGN. "They got a lot of money injected into the company a few years back and had some big plans to open up the U.S. office, but it didn't really work out like they wanted it to with the games over here," a source tells them. "They had good intentions with titles like Rise of the Argonauts -- just not the right teams."
