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.

    Well, I could give you guys projected date, but that didn't go over well so all I can say is, soon.

    As for why all the holdup, the short answer is contracts. A little longer answer is all contracts between Cie and Car manufacturers and third parties need to be re-negotiated under Glu which involves lawyers, and lawyers get paid by the hour.

    I do have to say that for most of the employees have family's and the is game is their 9 to 5. With only 1 day off per week. And I'm sure the pay grade isn't amazing like everyone thinks. How would you feel if your doing your job to the best of your ability and some unhappy customer. Came up to you and said. I don't like your pase. You need to work harder. Yeah the update didn't work as everyone thought. But I have k noticed major improvements on the game. Since the Failedupdate. Not only do they have to figure out a way to fix bugs but they have to deal with 10000 complaints. And also a way to keep fixing new hacks. And glitches. Give them a little break. Not saying that you are in the wrong and this is not to offend anyone but I don't think there as many employees as we think set up for this specific game. keep in mind that if there are 500 complaints. How many are legit. Probably with as many people scamming another player there are twice as many people trying to scam the company

    what usually happen when a company has more work load than they can handle they hire more people. dont know how much they get paid but when something is makeing money you invest unless you are greedy and just want customers to keep paying till they give up. guessing cie was sold for a nice penny. when you sale somebody something that is supposed to be a certain way but never deliver and keep dragging customer along end results are not good. i havnt noticed anything improved. why not shut game down till its working properly....then you miss your customers(money). just venting cause im pissed like everybody else.

    Its not a matter of pace... They continue to sell a broken product. It would be different if they would concentrate all their assets on repairing the game and actually reimbursing people who have spent quite a bit of money only to continue to lose it due to glitches rather than adding more cars/items for sale that inevitably will be lost to glitches and bought over and over again... sounds kinda scammish to me?
