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.

Okay so you might think I'm a schizophrenic lol or crazy in general, however I studied economics and coding for a vast majority over the last five years. This might come off crazy at first but I am compiling data sheets to present In the future. So my questions and screen shots I need from you as witnesses is to help compile data for me. You may be asked in the future as well to help. Okay so over the past year I been investigating CIE. I'm a lone wolf. I graduated from college from Indiana where I went on to further education and still continuing. I want your help to bring up small glitches that occurred over the past year of playing game. (For example and I want your questions as well) let's start off with these first: Have you ever wondered why the cars in campaign get faster as you install parts, not just randomization? Have you installed a part and came back and it wasn't installed? Then say in turf you had to purchase gems to repair or install part because of the small glitch. This occurred back in 2006-2010 big in the mafia game bust where codes were being formulated to have small detours in order for you to purchase more In game expenses. Now multiply that by 100 million. Even if it's a couple cents on the gem. The stock market had an issue like this occur in formula where the code sped up and caught the person purchasing something an the computer purchased it before. Causing the person to pay more on the stock. Economics and codes are somewhat unnoticed to the naked eye. I've studied multiple examples of these small glitches that effect millions of players across all game by glu and cie. Ask yourself next time should I really have to use boost to beat this guy? Or another example. It used my boost but yet I dnf or tied. Costing you more money again. This could be a error in code. Or what about pms not working on forums, some racers being able to race and not others. Ever wondered if you're being targeted individual because you tried making a little extra cash? I'm not blaming anyone just yet. However I need your help and more examples. I have many more but will write all night. Then you'll have people say show proof. The proof is from you guys. I need your help to screen shot or just your word of mouth to sign a form for me. I know this could blow up into WWIII as we know it. However if this is found true just a small glitch multiplied by millions means thousands in profit off a small glitch in code. My cousin has worked with Microsoft and created some of the greatest games to exist on there platforms. Board games you name it. I had a talk with him and he was in awe about my theory, however couldn't disagree. I plan to submit my form to apple and google upon your help and answers back for me. I like to investigate small issues that make bank. I will list more examples when I get home from work. Now how about you list some and keep your screen shots!

Each opponent gets a random ET within a certain range based on several variables.
Have you installed a part and came back and it wasn't installed?
I’ve investigate hundreds of these issues. And each time it’s as I say. Your device desyned (for whatever reason) Any money gained or spent during that time is not recorded. In no case have I seen any money actually lost. I can explain this in more detail if you want.
Then say in turf you had to purchase gems to repair or install part because of the small glitch. This occurred back in 2006-2010 big in the mafia game bust where codes were being formulated to have small detours in order for you to purchase more In game expenses.

This is seriously reaching. I suppose its hard to believe that we’re just a small company with regular folks like you that make something the best they can with the tools and budget and time we have and since we make a game in which the player variables are so vast and almost infinite that we cannot design a multiplayer game that works perfectly in every part of the world, on every device out there and in every situation there is.
Or another example. It used my boost but yet I dnf or tied. Costing you more money again. This could be a error in code.
DNFs are literally caused because your device does not send us your race results. No other device can make you do that because no ther device comes in direct contact with your phone. You can I suppose get tricked into thinking your opponent DNFed, but that’s on our end and we fixed that, still, nothing we’ve seen has been able to actually make your phone not send us info.
Or what about pms not working on forums, …
We literally use vBulletin® … all we have are controls to admin it, we don’t code it. The only thing we can do is clear it’s cache every now and then when I tell our IT guys that I can’t PM… yes, I too experience the same things… but I suppose its my boss doing that on purpose because he’d rather see me twiddling my thumbs. Seriously though, we brought this to their attention and they told us to wait for the next update... .kinda funny huh?
… some racers being able to race and not others. Ever wondered if you're being targeted individual because you tried making a little extra cash?
Yes, I have a list of people I want to piss off so I make it so they can’t race. Really? You go to school. Do you really think it’s good business to try and trick and swindle your customers? Especially if you want longevity? If we were a cut and run company, maybe so, but we plan on being here a long while, otherwise we would not have joined up with Glu. We wanted more resources to bring you a better product. So ask yourself, is the best way to get you to spend more money to trick you and cheat you? Or by trying your best to create an awesome game that you would want to spend money on?
I'm not blaming anyone just yet (Sounds like it). However I need your help and more examples. I have many more but will write all night. Then you'll have people say show proof.

I understand, there are issues. Maybe we can’t fix them al, but we tryl. Maybe we can’t make older phones work like newer phones,but we try, maybe we can’t add things to the game without pushing the boundaries of the technology out there, therby making it difficult to play on older devices. We also can’t please everyone. We know crashes happen, and we can pretty much see how many people actually do crash. We can also see a trend on who crashes, and guess what? It’s not based on how much you spend or not, I know, that’s unbelievable coming from a company that swims in gold right? I’ve been visited multiple times today from our QA department asking for more information from all the reports you have given me, I see the frustrated look on their faces when they just can’t replicate the same issues using similar to equal devices, but they keep trying. I see them here when I leave, I see them tired looking when they come back in in the morning. These guys aren’t “doing nothing”. I know it’s hard to take my word for anything, because that would just mean that there actually is an issue that we can’t fix or are having issues fixing, so we must have done it on purpose to squeeze every last dime out of you all. I personally love driving an hour to work every morning in my Bentley so I can join everyone here while we watch Youtube and wipe our mouths with the wads of the Benjamins we’re all rolling in. Fact is, we’re working people, we like our jobs despite all the criticism. We work tirelessly everyday despite it, to try and bring you a better game, a game we can be proud of.
So yeah, I won’t stop this conversation, feel free to pursue this investigation into the inner workings of an evil game company, but seriously., ask yourselves, are you just trying to find a conspiracy where there isn’t any because the alternative is too hard to believe?

the biggest issue here is when you have an issue or try to present it they want all kinds of proof that it happen not to mention it takes 12 days for them to even respond .. and now u gotta fish up a payment order in ur email that you never received... make it hard enough on the costumer that they don't wanna mess with it, that's there plan here..
thx for listen all
