Bethesda did it: they put Starfield in a touching tribute to Alex Hay, a fan of the game who died of cancer before he could play it, which he wanted more than anything. The dedication came in the form of a written note, in which we can read
In March 2023 it was Hay himself who wrote on Reddit how sad he was because of the new Starfield date. The doctors had in fact interrupted the curative therapies because there was nothing left to do and at the time of writing that message Hay was under pain therapy waiting to die.
The response to the tribute has been of both compassion and sadness for Hay and his family and friends who had to say farewell to him too soon. Hay was a prolific iOS developer who improved accessibility in apps through his own invention, Toolbox Pro.
At that point the Bethesda community took action and asked the company to remember Hay within the game. A hashtag was even born on social media to put pressure on Howard and his associates: #AlexInStarfield.
