I believe that's untrue.
Any artist should be flattered that his audience are waiting for his next work, and if Shark doesn't like being waited or encouraged i don't know what to say about that.
i don't believe Shark is making those games for his own fun, they are for us, and we are doing our job expecting/waiting/encouraging him!

Ms Dees;
Let's say for example, you enjoy preparing a meal for your mate. At 17:00 your mate asks when dinner will be ready. You're working your tookus off trying to prepare it and don't answer. @ 17:20 your mate asks again. It's a meal you've not prepared before and you really don't know. Once again, you toil on with no answer. It's now 17:30 and once more you hear "When's dinner?". My mate would beat me about the head and ears with the damned skillet, or tell me if I want it sooner I should get off my dead ass and prepare it for myself!!!
Artists need to know we love and appreciate their work (I/we certainly do). They shouldn't be taken away from their work to answer this stupid damned question over and over, or bear the pressure it adds. If ever you've seen the avalanche of "You promised" posts when a date's missed, you'd understand why anyone that's been there doesn't give target dates!
You are correct;
Shark enjoys providing us with his vision of every game he releases. In large part he does it for his own enjoyment (including our thanks). The end product has always been his vision, at his pace. No question will change the output or provide it one millisecond sooner!!!
Many sites that cater to participant provided updates and releases, ban that question outright! IMO (InMyOpinion) we should as well! If my memory's correct we stopped frowning on that question once the Priv-Box became a reality.

Patience is a virtue!
