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.

Sure, we know you would all like us to "not be greedy" and give everything out for free. In a Star Trek world without money and costs and bills, sure that would be awesome. However, things cost money. Cars cost us money. Car companies simply do not just give us cars. Hosting the game costs money, tools cost money, offices cost money, employees cost money, as much as I'm sure everyone would want, we do have to pay people for their labors.
As to why we include some cheap things in the crates, it's basically how those things go. We have stuff that is worth more and stuff that is worth less. At the end of the day, it's a game of chance, not a game of guarantees. It's up to you to decide if the risk is worth it or not.

And RYYST, I don't know how to get rrc easily, since when I last played, I used to pay a c note for 1M directly from Google Play, sir.

You guys are basically telling Carbonated to forget profit and other costs and just make shit cheap. If you had a business, would you want to make profit? Yes. Cause if Rivals was ran the way many are suggesting Rivals wouldn't be able to go long at all.
Some will never get it, but oh well, not much we can do about that
Ill back you on that, Couldn't agree more.
Keep in mind though that it isn't cheap to obtain these lovely pixels you guys provide. So dont destroy the value by repeating or handing them our for free or and and and... You know where im going with this
I will be stepping aside for this and many more offers you provide until I feel Racing Rivals gets this concept (That I have mentioned many times before)
Beside there is always a confident rival out there that thinks they will beat me in pink
Now let's race!
If your only looking for goodies not prints. Why not save you gems and just find a trusted goody dealer?
