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.

At what point would glu/carbinated ban someone for the way they talk in lobby chat? I have screenshots from a friend.....and I know this individual is well known in the community for the way he talks to women.

    Lobby chat isn't regulated - you can say whatever you want. Should you say something that catches the eye of someone that has the ability to do something about it, and legal proceedings occur as a result, Glu / Carbonated will comply and assist with the investigation should it be necessary. So, word to the wise - be mindful of what you say, as you never know who is playing / reading / watching, and what capabilities they have. Better to be safe than sorry. That, and there's something to be said for not acting like a butt head in the lobby chat.

    While currently we don't really actively police our chat. If there are credible threats or the like, and if those occurrences are reported to the proper authorities, we will 100% cooperate with any law enforcement agencies if called upon.

    Speaking from prior experience at another gaming company... I'm pretty sure you do NOT want police and FBI breaking down your garage door while playing a game. So, be aware that anything you say in chat can have consequences outside our little mobile game.

    @BlitzChaos yup and seeing we have brought many Chester's and what the say up to customer service and thevr done squat. Yes they will assist with law enforcement but they on their own don't enforce squat.
