Just days after Microsoft finalised their purchase of Activision they have lost a key figure from one of their other acquisitions.  Peter Hines,  Bethesda Softworks’ head of publishing, has announced he is retiring to focus on “enjoying life”.

“After 24 years, I have decided my time at Bethesda Softworks has come to an end,” Hines posted 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 was not a decision I came to easily or quickly, but after an amazing career, culminating in the incredible launch of Starfield, it feels like the time is right.”

“This is certainly not goodbye by any means. My love of Bethesda and its people has never wavered, and I will never stop being part of this incredible community we have grown. Thank you to the hundreds and thousands of fans l’ve gotten to meet and talk to over the last 24 years. Your energy, creativity, and support has been such a big part of my journey. I look forward to experiencing the next part of the adventure alongside you. Working with the amazing people, teams, and studios at Bethesda has been the greatest experience of my life. I’m incredibly proud of everything we have done together, and I’m genuinely excited to see the amazing things they will create next.”

Peter began his career at Bethesda in 1999 and was responsible for writing game manuals so he certainly climbed up that corporate ladder during his time at the company.
