Leonard Nimoy's passing had an effect on many other types of media besides gaming. The tributes inside of games are all still to be announced, but plenty of other mediums have made their tributes.
Firstly, in television SyFy is planning to run a special 5 hour marathon on Sunday, March 1st (tomorrow), starting at 9 am ET. It will include an episode of the original Twilight Zone that he featured in, both parts of the Star Trek: The Next Generation story he starred in; Unification and the final Star Trek movie that featured the original cast; Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country.
Channel Epix is also paying tribute today with two special airings; “A Conversation with Leonard Nimoy” and Star Trek Into Darkness.
On their Facebook, TBS Network posted the photo below with the caption: "In loving memory of the only man special enough to leave Sheldon speechless. #LLAP". Fans of The Big Bang Theory have also asked that an episode in future pay tribute to the deceased actor.
Another sort of tribute came from an artist in Dallas. Rob Wilson created a piece of art in tribute to Nimoy and his most famous role, simply captioned "Beam Him Up".
And of course, many people have been tweeting out their tributes from actors who worked with Nimoy to President Obama of the United States of America to even metal music artists.

It is with sadness that I heard of Leonard Nimoy's death. I was lucky to spend many happy, inspiring hours with him. He won't be forgotten.

The most simple and probably touching tribute to Nimoy and how much he meant to people is probably the photo that Good Morning America posted on their Facebook. Nimoy's star on the Walk of Fame with a single rose laid next to it, capturing the visual representation of the actor's accomplishment along with a reminder of the fact that he is now gone.
We'll be following this article up with news of tributes that are to be put into games, such as the station Elite: Dangerous is planning to add that we covered earlier.
