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.
Comments
That being said we have several kinds of "updates".
1. A hot fix. These are changes we can make on our end. Meaning we don't have to change the game client (what you have on your device) These are easy and we can just "update" it without the need for approval.
2. A small update. These usually contain minor fixes and additions. These will usually be named under a major update like... 4.3.1
3. Major Update. These usually will contain a major change/feature upgrade. We usually name these as a new version, The last one we did was version 4.0
2 and 3 can take weeks or months.
