Sega acquires German Bundesliga license 2018-2022

[lart]

To whom it may concern.
I was just browsing the DFL website and noticed they renegotiated the Bundesliga licenses for computer games.
EA got, as usual, the match simulation license, looks like they lost or didn't care about the management license they held. They get to keep the right to do Ultimate team though.
Konami a license for a management game.
Sega got a license for a management game, explicitly stating Football Manager.

Imho this was long overdue. Hopefully no more incomplete/broken/hard to do installation, translations, patching and restrictions for a German version you were unable to buy Germany anyway.
