据日本时报的报道，星期三日本公平贸易委员会突然搜查位于东京的Mobage-town 移动游戏网站运营商DeNA公司。理由是怀疑它试图阻止软件开发商提供游戏软件给对手GREE公司，并威胁要与开发商终止合作。

FTC宣称这些措施由于对贸易伙伴的运营设置了不公平的限制而触犯了反垄断法律。

据游戏邦了解Dena推出了Mobage-town游戏平台。同样GREE也开发了一项类似的服务平台。他们一般提供移动手机用户免费模式的游戏，引诱他们购买吸引人的额外的游戏道具，游戏开发商从当中获得部分收益。在近1000亿日元的移动游戏市场中，DeNA和GREE是绝对的竞争对手。

DeNA是1999年3月份创建的，在2006年2月份开发了Mobage-town网站。由于玩家可以在游戏里面互相交流，这个网站极受欢迎。并在2007年12月于东京证券交易所上市。此外，Mobage-town的注册用户在7月份达到2000万，而GREE的网站的注册用户人数也超过了这个水平。(本文由游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译，转载请注明：游戏邦)

The Fair Trade Commission on Wednesday raided DeNA Co., the Tokyo-based operator of the popular Mobage-town mobile game site, on suspicion it tried to prevent software developers from providing game software to rival GREE Inc.

DeNA is also suspected of effectively threatening to terminate deals with developers refusing to comply and blocking Mobage-town customers from accessing game titles of developers who refused to go along, sources said.

The FTC alleges these measures violated the antimonopoly law by placing unfair restrictions on trading partners’ business operations, they said.

DeNA has developed an open platform service allowing outside game developers to provide their titles through the Mobage-town site. GREE launched a similar service in the summer.

The sites provide mobile phone users with games free of charge and lead them to buy extra game tools that make the games more interesting. The game developers get part of the revenue from the extras.

DeNA and GREE dominate the market, which is estimated at ¥100 billion.

Computer programs for cell phone games are relatively basic in order to curb battery consumption, making it easier for software firms to develop the same titles for different mobile game site operators.

DeNA, founded in March 1999, launched the Mobage-town site in February 2006, attracting customers by allowing them to communicate with each other through games. The company debuted on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in December 2007.

Mobage-town’s list of registered customers topped 20 million in July. GREE’s site has also exceeded that level.(source:japan times)
