I dont see a sex scene being needed.

What does a sex scene add to the story that can't be conveyed other ways?

It's not just a sex scene, the headline is misleading. They've totally cut out the relationship, this is straight-washing.

They're literally showing what looks like a blossoming relationship, including her ex being "ok" with it... They had the homophobe get called out and attacked for not being accepting of it... I don't get how this is "Straight-washing" here. I agree there's no need for a sex scene. Isn't the romantic/love aspect what matters?

Depends on the intent. If the series portraits mostly faithfully the game story but then decided to omit this part from it, than it looks like straight washing to keep a low Parental Rating and avoid backlash from homophobes.
