" because Dark_AleX dislikes, and rightly so, that he put pressure. "
Very understandable. That's exactly why news site should post about upcoming stuff, new features and such in the next version, etc... but you should really NEVER say it's going to be tomorrow or a few hours. This does a couple of undesireable things
1) it puts unneded pressure on the DEVs because now there is a timeline everyone expects and some younger DEVs may release buggy software because they will try to rush
2) It allows so much lead time to the update, by the time it comes out there are so many users around the world hitting the damn F5 key on his website it causes the website to slow down, or worst case... screetch to a hault as if it just got slammed by a DDOS attack.
3) some regular users get pissed off (however unwarranted) when the deadline is not met and start flaming the developer... leading to:
4) the developer eventually gets fed up and quits the scene (which has already happened to D_A more than once)
in short... news good, timelines bad.
