Bethesda's longtime publishing head Pete Hines retires after 24 years

Pete Hines announced his retirement from Bethesda after 24 years with the company.
Hines served as head of publishing and was the public face of Bethesda for over two decades.
His retirement came shortly after the launch of Starfield, Bethesda's first major release since its acquisition by Microsoft.
Both Hines and Bethesda acknowledged his significant contributions in statements about his departure.
The timing suggests Hines' retirement was planned and amicable following a major career milestone with Starfield's release.
