Canard PC is an independent magazine founded in France in 2003 devoted to PC gaming and published monthly.[2][3]

The title Canard PC is a paronym, derived from Canard WC, which is the French name for Toilet Duck.

Canard PC's independence from the game companies is recognized in the French video gaming circles.[4][5][6][7] Canard PC has a sister magazine, Canard PC Hardware.[8]

Independent studies have shown that Canard PC reviews many games not mentioned by other magazines or websites specialized in video games, and has a strong variation in its review scores.[9][10] Canard PC Managing editor, Ivan Gaudé, recognized in a video games critics panel on a French network that they did not like scoring very much, but they felt they had to put them for their reviews because gamers wanted them.[7]

History

[edit | edit source]

In July 2003, some editors left the publishing staff of the French gaming monthly Joystick after its acquisition by Future Publishing. They founded Canard PC in the following months.[2] The magazine is edited by Presse Non-Stop, a company owned at 75% by the editors themselves, specifically created for Canard PC.
