Mobage (モバゲー, Mobagē, "Mobile Game") was a portal and social network for games, owned by DeNA. It derived its name from the Japanese slang for mobile games.
In 2011, as part of a strategy to unify its services, DeNA rebranded Mobage Town as Mobage (sometimes called Mobage East) for use in Japan, while the Plus+ network operated by ngmoco, a subsidiary of DeNA, was also rebranded as Mobage (sometimes called Mobage West) for use in the West.[1][2]
On December 19, 2014, ngmoco announced the rebranding of Mobage West to DeNA.[3][4][5] The Japanese site continued to operate under the mobage name.[citation needed]
On August 9, 2018, the English version of the website was reportedly shut down for unknown reasons.[citation needed]
The service was described as highly successful in academic research.[6] In July 2011, it was reported the service had 30 million users, who largely played on feature phones.[7]
