Alex Hay died from lung cancer in March this year.

Spotted by a player HunterWorld on the Starfield subreddit, Bethesda’s memorial to Hay comes in the form of a short note found on the Eye (just on the right as you enter, says HunterWorld). Titled «Alex Hay’s Note,» it reads «To all my friends and fellow explorers, I’m always with you, out there in the Starfield.
