Tessier Ashpool Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 From Joystiq Quote When you want the very latest on old guys, money and old guys' money, you turn to The Wall Street Journal. When you want news about video games, you could probably do better, as evidenced by this quote from a Dow Jones Newswire piece the publication ran today about that THQ takeover speculation: "Take-Two has a number of strong franchises and a number of wholly owned Internet Protocols. Wholly owned IPs not only carry higher profitability, but also are more valuable to media companies because they could be adapted into movies, TV serials and online destinations." We'd make a joke here, but there's literally nothing we could say that would be funnier than that quote.

Adapted into "tv serials" or "internet destinations". is this quote verbatem? They are CLEARLY referring to intellectual properties. Seriously, the WSJ knows what the term "IP" means in this context, just a slip up in copy editing.
