Raze is officially affiliated with Larian. The statement isn't cryptic. Swen answered how he was going to meet 'the expectations', and the simple fact is that you can never meet all expectations universally for anything in any field, genre or medium at the same time. Ever.
Instead of arguing semantics [...]
This entire thread is based upon arguing semantics. There's a dozen ways to interpret "expectations are soaring through the roof".

All they can do is their best, and thus they can't reasonably aim to meet every expectation that exists in a total sum.
It really is that simple.
