Merge Games’ Luke Keighran on digital vs physical distribution

Luke Keighran is the Managing Director of the UK-based Merge Games, a fairly recent entry into gaming retail markets around the world.

Luke is former THQ alumni, dividing six years total at the company between its Australian and UK offices as Sales and Marketing Manager.

As for his new startup, Merge Games distubutes to Europe, Africa, the Middle East and, of course, Australia. Most recently, Merge brought PC retail versions of indie classics LIMBO and The Binding of Isaac to our shores.

Stevivor.com recently had the chance to sit down with Luke and discuss a variety of topics, including indie games, global markets, digital versus physical distribution, Merge’s recent successes… and sadly, THQ’s current woes.
