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.

A "gem out" would solve all the problems

It all comes down to gems. They keep turning out turfs. Everyone wants to win and to win, you need to win races. To win race you need to use gems because you know the other guy is using a gem boost. If we could get to the point where we all pinked our cars without the addition of gem boosts, they would be forced to fix the game or let it inevitably fail.

If we left the total cars in existence right now as it is and only bought from each other... and stopped pinking with gem boosts, CIE/glu would make nothing from us. We wouldn't be buying cars from them anymore and zero would be made off gems.

    You just contradicted yourself, you said that no gems would be a good idea but if we don't use gems CIE games won't make any profit.

    They would take a big financial hit for sure and they would still make their money from ads
