DeNA Co. and Gree Inc., Japan’s two biggest social-gaming operators, rose in Tokyo trading after agreeing to stop offering a feature scrutinized by regulators, who said charges to use it were in some cases excessive.

DeNA climbed as much as 9.9 percent to 2,127 yen, while Gree advanced as much as 8.9 percent to 1,623 yen. The two Tokyo-based companies were among six Japanese game operators who announced yesterday they will abandon the “complete gacha” system by May 31.
