    IP = Intellectual Property. This refers to the overall Idea behind a game. Things like Star Wars, Star Trek, Conan, Warhammer and Warcraft are all IPs.

    IP when I go to the bathroom (someone had to say it)

  • paulscottpaulscott Member Posts: 5,613

    for games it will most likely be 'internet protocol address' which is like the name of your computer.

    if you're refering to a game based on say the battlestar galatica IP, it would intelectual proberty.

    obviously both meaning will come up in games.

    I find it amazing that by 2020 first world countries will be competing to get immigrants.
