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.

What does that mean for Rivals? As long as the device someone is using is already logged onto Facebook, someone can access the account. I want to be clear on this part. At no time does Racing Rivals know your Facebook password. In order to access Racing Rivals, you would have already had to be logged into Facebook.
Also, delinking your account from Facebook on your end does not really de-link it. Once an account has been associated with a Facebook account, it is always linked to the Facebook account.
So again, I do undestand people are upset that their accounts were accessed be someone else, but we really have no control over that. I am sorry to say, but the policy regarding account security has been that the security of an account is the sole responsibility of the account owner. These people have your Facebook login info. They had to have logged into your Facebook account before launching Racing Rivals.
I'm curious about whoever it was being on a an account and chatting to the same account. Was it normal chat or Team Chat? If it's Team Chat, it is possible to be logged onto the same account from different devices and "talk to each other".
I do sympathize, it's not a great feeling having your account controlled by someone else without permission, however getting angry with us can't change that. The account info was obtained before the damage was done. We can't control who accesses your Facebook account. We can't stop someone from accessing your Facebook account, and we cannot fix whatever method it was to obtain your Facebook account.
