Pix'n Love

Pix'n Love is a French publishing house co-founded in 2007 by Florent Gorges, Marc Pétronille and Sébastien Mirc.

History
It specializes in the publication of works related to the history of video games2. It publishes original collections (Pix'n Love, The History of Nintendo3, Les Cahiers du Jeu Vidéo, The Big Names in Video Games, etc.) as well as translations of English or Japanese collections4. Pix'n Love Editions has a staff of approximately 50 freelancers and authors.

Following the abandonment and shutdown of the first French magazine devoted to retrogaming, GameFan, part of the team (Florent Gorges and Marc Pétronille) decided to found a company offering a new way of designing the retrogaming press. The two founders are joined by Sébastien Mirc.

In July 2007, they released the first issue of their regular publication5. With an editorial line as varied as a magazine but a format and distribution typical of books, Pix'n Love is the first mook available in France.

Initially, the company chose the name Pixel'Art Editions, but legal deposit problems did not allow its use (this name is no longer available at the INPI). Pix'n Love is then chosen in reference to the expression peace and love8. On the other hand, the first name of the first mook turns out to be Retro Pixels, but it is later changed to Pix'n Love9 Among their partners are the Japanese publishers Enterbrain and Kōdansha, as well as the Americans Udon and Dark Horse.

SNK is a long-collaborator of the company, releasing special contents of its game series for PlayStation consoles (4/5), in an exclusive cover resembling the Neo Geo CD cover, and a special artbook.
