Nintendo Explain their Attitude to Third Party Publishers
If you own a Wii U, it might almost seem like you're being ignored by the big publishers. Sure, you're getting Call of Duty (who isn't?) and Square Enix managed to release Deus Ex to the system, but there are certainly some big holes. In an investors meeting, President Iwata revealed how Nintendo look at third parties.

A Realm Reborn Sales Better than Expected
The history of Final Fantasy XIV is a little rough. It had to basically be remade from scratch after it released to terrible reviews and financial ruin. It would have been the first truly bad Final Fantasy game ever released, if not for A Realm Reborn, which was significantly better than the original release.

Blizzard Trademarks Warlords of Draenor
Blizzard has filed a trademark for Warlords of Draenor, according to a post on MMO Champion. If this turns out to be an actual game, it more than likely is another expansion for World of Warcraft (Draenor is the orc's homeland). Adding further proof to this rumor is the fact warlordsofdraenor.com was registered over a month ago. However, this new domain comes with a couple of problems. For one, it was purchased on Go Daddy, which is not a place major businesses typically go to in order to buy up websites. The other issue is that Blizzard hasn't been known to create sites for the World of Warcraft expansions, so this Draenor page is very questionable, and I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be a hoax.

The Problem with Hype
Think of the last E3, or the last Gamescom, or the last Tokyo Game Show. What was the main thing shown at the press conferences held there? The trailers, gameplay videos, and everything else shown are done so to get you excited about a certain game that they want you to be more interested in. If the trailer is well-done and people like it, the hype of the game goes up and people talk about it more and more. But what happens next? More trailers and details for the game are released, just hyping you up more until the game comes out. But sometimes, when the game comes out, it’s not everything you expected. It’s not as fantastic as you had hoped. It’s not all that it’s hyped up to be.

Ubisoft Drops Uplay Service For Good
Due to backlash from gamers, Ubisoft has decided to drop their controversial Uplay service. The most recent outcry about Ubisoft's version of an online pass is over the Edward's Fleet game mode in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. In order to access the feature, gamers had to enter in the code that came with their new copy of the game, or pay a fee. However, because of the inability for some users to be able to play Edward's Fleet, Ubisoft is now offering it for free. Here's more from their official blog post:
