In today's Daily Fix:Former Bethesda executive Pete Hines is the altest gaming exec to come out against Xbox Game Pass. Hines was the Senior Vice President of Global Marketing and Communications as Xbox-owned Bethesda, and in a recent interview has questioned the value Game Pass provides to developers.
