fwiw the quote is singular developer. They mean the developer of the game, Bethesda, will take a look and reevaluate. Nowhere are they suggesting Bethesda will involve literal software engineers in a dispute about $7 content. That would be insane, as you suggest.

Maybe I got that wrong then...

the term developer is highly overloaded. in the games industry it can either mean "the company producing the game" or "an individual software developer working on a game." i think more often it is used in the first sense, especially in reporting.
