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.

    You guys. It's not like we've never updated before. It's also not like everyone has threatened to quit if we don't fix things.

    Each time, EACH time. We update, there are issues. There are just some things you can't test with a handful of people. When the game goes live to 100,000s? Things happen. Then we work through it. Then everything goes back to "normal". We're not sitting here doing nothing, we're looking into everything you guys are saying. We'll address what needs to be addressed and we'll keep on keeping on.

    A little patience. We've all gone through this before.

    Many of the paints and rims are way off. You would think that would have been something that was running fine when they decided to release the update. Flake paint makes the car look like it's made out of glass that needs to be sanded. The track graphics, race graphics, and background look like a game from the late 90's. The tach is hard to read now. The race results and chat font are tiny and hard to read. And on and on!!!!

    Can you take out the gun shot sound at the start of a race? That throws you off and makes it sound like 1st gear hit the wall on cars with fast gears. That is so unneeded and annoying

    You can reply, dont care

    But it's funny how you think saying that everytime you update that there HAS TO BE MAJOR ISSUES, it's like you justifying why you messed up, which is totally wrong. I see people waste money on this game, and this update is like a kick in the face. You get a sample of individuals to test your game??? Pull up your socks. This game is nothing but a dissapointment, no trading system, scammers galore, cash-grab and ads were introduced.. Even Pixel car racer if not par with this game, is better than this.

    I believe the difference between GLU and other companies is that other companies fully BETA TEST their updates. History has shown that GLU does not do this. Even you, Ryyst, state above that every update has issues. These are major issues that require more work on your part and more frustrations for your users. This does not happen elsewhere, for the most part.

    just remember this, its the USERS that sign your paychecks, not your boss. Without happy users, you have zero.

    In fairness though he is right, even with beta testing there will be the unforseen
