The dev may be thinking of changing the scene, but it should have never been unavoidable to beging with. Now it's too late to unsee it and people already are pissed with it, it may have even made people no longer want to play the game even if it gets that scene fixed later on.
Tbh I don't know what the dev was thinking, having a forced kink, no matter what kink it is, without having another choice to prevent that from happening it's always a mistake. It gets even worse when it comes to rape and NTR, because those two kinks were never said that they would happen latter on, and the dev had time to say that in the future there would be those scenes in the game but he/she opted for not saying anything.
Hell the dev even said that he/she doesn't like NTR and that it puts that in the game to please some of the patreons. Well it was a nice way of shooting your own feet. No matter if he/she changes it now, it still happenned and was unavoidable, so what stops the dev from doing it again with the same kink or another? nothing.
The dev should have known that having that unavoidable rape/NTR scene in the game would bring backslash, it should have known about it before realising the game. The first rule when you try to add an "extreme" kink in a game that so far was the opposite of it is to have an option to avoid it.
I can't do a game centered about for example, NTR for more than 10 releases and then stop having NTR scenes and telling the patreons that is needed for the plot. Same if the kink is harem, you can't bring NTR without there being an option to avoid it. It would be the same if you make a lesbian game and then out of nowhere your lesbian MC, decides she want to fuck a few guys and she starts enjoying them.
It would have been so easy to make an option to avoid (not just avoid seeing it, but actually avoid it) the rape and the NTR and other to see it if that's your kink, now the game is ruined for those people that don't like NTR or rape and got forced to see it, after enduring that much grind.
