市场份额对日本游戏公司来说究竟有多重要？居然会让日本手机游戏巨头DeNA公司不惜为此付出代价，陷入“恐吓门”的法律纠纷中。

据Sankei News报道，DeNA公司因触犯反垄断法一事，正在接受日本公平贸易委员会（The Japanese Fair Trade Commission）的调查。该委员会认为，DeNA旗下的游戏门户网站Mobagetown以终断业务往来为手段，要挟游戏开发商不得与竞争对手Gree公司进行合作。

游戏邦还了解到，DeNA公司已经用这种手段处理了一家公司，据称还向其他100家公司发出了恐吓信号。

日本公平贸易委员会目前正针对DeN的涩谷工作室展开调查，如果该公司最后被定罪，那么这桩案件对Mobagetown的业务来说无疑是一个致命打击（游戏邦注：该网站目前用户超过1000万，与雅虎日本也有合作关系）。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译，转载请注明来源：游戏邦）

Japanese Mobile Games Operator Accused of Antitrust Violations

Mobagetown owner sent business threats to 100 companies

Marketshare is important in Japan. But just how much, exactly? Mobile gaming operator DeNA is finding out that it’s probably not worth breaking the law over, as it is being investigated under suspicion of violating anti-trust laws.

The Japanese Fair Trade Commission had reason to believe that DeNA’s gaming portal, Mobagetown, was threatening to cut ties with game developers if they did business with rival service Gree.

According to a report in Sankei News, DeNA did follow through with this threat with one company, and allegedly made threats to 100 others.

Investigations into its Shibuya offices are apparently ongoing. If found guilty, it could be a blow to the business – Mobagetown has over 10 million users and has a partnership with Yahoo! Japan to offer its service on the search engine website as well. （source:spong）
