* The staff credits for the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis Mini II plug-and-play console includes a dedication to longtime Creator/{{Sega}} employee Rieko Kodama. Kodama was responsible as a graphic designer on the likes of ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog1991'' and ''VideoGame/AlexKiddInMiracleWorld'', and would later direct and produce titles such as ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarIV'', ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia'' and the UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn adaptation of ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth''. Her cause of death has never been publicly revealed. She passed away on May 2022, but Sega decided to wait until the mini-console's release on October five months later and make the announcement public the moment someone would point out the dedication in the credits on social media.
* ''VideoGame/ShadysPoopong'': 20th Anniversary Edition is dedicated to Tasha Bourne, a [[PlatonicLifePartners Platonic Life Partner]] of the game's creator and a tester on the first game, who died in 2008.

* A rather subtle one is found in ''VideoGame/StarTrekStarfleetCommand 2''. Actor Creator/DeForestKelley, famous for his role as [[Main/TheMcCoy Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy]] in ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' passed away just a few weeks before the game was released. In the game's main campaign, if you are playing as the Federation, and if you have earned enough command points, you can add a CLH (a hospital ship) to your fleet. There is little point in doing so; even though it is based on the Texas-class Light Cruiser, its only armament is six of the weakest phasers in the game. While the entire game is not dedicated to him, one of the hospital ships is named the [[Creator/DeForestKelley USS DeForest Kelley]], likely a last-minute addition to the game.
