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.

CIE Games Is Repeating Its History

I played this game a long time ago called Car Town and spent a whole bunch of money on it and did YouTube reviews of each car. Before CarTown I played CarTown EX, a different version of the game, which was MUCH BETTER. I had like everything on EX, which was owned by Proto Games. Then, CIE bought CarTown EX and closed it down because all of players money was going to Proto Games' successful EX version of CarTown. Then, the greedy CIE Games says they can't transfer player data from EX to CarTown, only purchased Blue Points, the hard cash currency of both games. All players lost their cars and garages. All these players had to start at level 1, usually with little to nothing. This was when RR was in its early stages. I'm still pretty pissed at CIE for my CarTown crisis and tried to forgive them when I started RR. But if I don't get a refund for CarTown, and this game goes down, I'm not trusting CIE anymore. I'm sure most of the community feels the same.
