Well based on that spoilered mention of devs that change in relationship between Jaye and Tara will happen anyway, whether Jaye will get in romantic relationship with MC or we as MC decide to not give her a chance for that. So Tara loses out either way as best friend and occasional lover of Jaye and after the role and importance she was set up to at least two main characters in game with in first two chapters will fall away by the roadside without any real ending to her story, nor will be likely to make me like Jaye more for allowing that to happen to her best friend without some good reasons given in game why she would do so beyond her mutual obsession with MC.Despite their physical intimacy, based on Tara's own statements, Tara and Jaye do not share an emotional bond that would support such a relationship. While it's possible that the women would accept the polyamorous relationship you describe, it's far from a sure thing. Consider that if it failed to mature the existing relationship between Tara and Jaye could be forever lost, or as Tara mentioned to the MC, in the context of a relationship between the two of them, changed in ways that she would find unacceptable.
As I said above that feels like an unsatisfying loose end to me right now. I might change my mind at end of game though when saw whole story.
Edit: Just her being in another game though where it would be explained will not make me change my mind, cause it will keep her a loose end in this game and this game has to be able to stand on its own with story told and its own internal logic. Besides it being extremely unlikely if she would be the female MC of that game I would ever find out, since I do not play female MC games as a rule, not even if might be a bit curious.
I said before, devs made a smart move with letting the parents die so they did not have to go too much into their motivations and possible failings in the Jaye/MC relationship. Tara does not die though I assume so trying to gloss over her past with them and not letting that play a role in rest of game, will feel weird likely without having seen rest of game yet. Now it might make some sense if it is Tara herself who walks away from the two of them if serious enough reasons with less of an impact on perception on Jaye for me. We will see what devs have planned in time and if it will make sense to us at end of game.
