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.

To summarize what this means, there is no longer a aftermarket value on any of the products. Matte, paints, glows, rims, or even cars that used to hold value for looks. This means that people went from wanting crates and spending mad cash on them. To not wanting them at all. Your gunna lose alot of money.
Thats talking economics, not even emotional attachement to cars thats gone, pride that went in having certain cars. All gone. They hold no value anymore. You have sucked all joy out of this game, and you can try and sugar coat it all you want, but you took away the attraction to the game. You took away the reason to buy gems for turf, or crates for items.
Ive read all your posts and they all have a theme that it will be ok in the end, like the other updates. But you need to realize what has happened to fix it properly. You better make these cars look good again, and not have a rx8 looking the same as good turf cars.

People aren't happy, bugs are out of control, apks and dual conversion are back. The lag is insane and makes racing almost impossible. I'm trying to see your point of view but it's very hard to see how 6.0 is considered an upgrade or improvement.
We don't have larger lobbies, lobby shifts or anything that was promised with 6.0. Self crushing is out of control cause it's the only way anyone can race. I'm really trying to see it... believe me, I am.
