Over the course of the last five years, Racing Rivals has grown into one of the most hardcore racing games in the world. This loyal community has spent countless hours competing in millions of races in “winner take all” fashion – all in the name of Turf Wars and pink slips.
However, all good things must come to an end… After spending time evaluating Rivals and its future – we’ve decided that it’s time to move on. Simply put, the revenue generated from Racing Rivals unfortunately no longer covers the cost of operations. This was not an easy decision to make.
On March 31st, 2019 – Rivals will be racing off into the sunset, and will be permanently shut down. Current players have until this date to utilize any accumulated virtual currency. We’ll be offering some massive reductions in the cost of crates, installs and repairs in addition to a reduction on timers as you race your way into the history books. Effective immediately, no new in-app purchases will be permitted.
In closing, a resounding and sincere THANK YOU to our extremely driven fans for your loyalty and dedication over the years – we hope you’ve enjoyed playing Racing Rivals as much as we’ve enjoyed creating it.

I know the bans are triggered by the system and or actions by the players but something has gone wrong and has banned many players wrongfully. Asking them all to email support will take weeks/months to get answers as the number is now in the hundreds of people who have been affected. If it is something like having duplicated vehicles that is something no one can differentiate. Same would go for bugged funds. Please advise.

You "implemented" this ban after having this issue since the game debuted. There were people who were not using the glitch who had bugged cars who got banned for having those cars. How can this or any other ban be justified when this bug was left to affect the game as long as it was?
The bans placed on the people who just had cars is horrible. They had no idea they were buying copied vehicles. They had no idea they were pink slip racing for duplicated vehicles. If this was an issue it should have been brought to the community's attention to watch out for people selling these vehicles or people who were giving our vehicles. There are now hundreds of legitimate people who you as a company will miss out financially from. I know how CIE works and it really doesn't matter to you guys to lose those people but for their hard work to go all for not or for those people to lose out on all the money they have put into this game is a shame.
I really hope this is reconsidered and you go after the people who were DOING the glitch not the ones who wound up with the vehicles.

It had nothing to do with "bugged cars" the metrics run were on races that had 2 winners and bans were placed according to who lost the races but still gained cash and cars.
