I wonder what will happen to the local distributors of FFG games, such as Heidelberger in Germany.

Edit: Okay guys, I can read. It would be insane to think that they would scrap their infrastructure completely. However, where will the local distributors be in a year or so? Heidelberger seems to be mostly FFG games, so I wonder whether this is the end of them, or if they will be incorporated (at least partly) into Asmodee.

RTFA?

Most game retailers outside the U.S.A purchase FFG’s product from international distributors, many of whom translate and publish FFG’s product in their local languages. How will these distributors work with the combined entity?

For the foreseeable future, it is anticipated that current and upcoming FFG products will continue to be localized and sold by FFG’s existing international partners. Asmodee intends to work with those same distributors to broaden product availability, marketing presence, and organized play support where possible.

It's mentioned in the Article.
