Hines announced his retirement today.
After nearly a quarter century of helping lead Bethesda Softworks, Pete Hines, the company’s head of publishing and one of its most recognizable faces, has announced that he is leaving the company and retiring from the videogame industry.
“After 24 years, I have decided my time at Bethesda Softworks has come to an end,” Hines wrote in a message shared on Twitter. “I am retiring and will begin an exciting new chapter of my life exploring interests and passions, donating my time where I can, and taking more time to enjoy life.
“This is not a decision I came to easily or quickly, but after an amazing career, culminating in the incredible launch of Starfield, it feels the time is right.”
Hines joined Bethesda in 1999 as the marketing guy, a position that evolved over the years into senior vice president of global marketing and communications.
