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.

I don't think it's the case here, I just think that either by direct action or indirect action this is a poorly coded game. With lack luster QA.
You see, most players don't realize how fun the game was just 6 months ago. If a player praticed hard and learned the game they could become a top player. I honestly don't think the vast majority of players understand this. The glitches to them are just part of the game. To me, the glitches are a result of the games expansion into other platforms for more revenue, at the cost of a stable game for the original players. Another kick in the butt is what do I do with all the cars and stuff I have collected? I have about 500 cars on this account that I can't even use. Had I of known this in the beginning, I would have made a throw-away apple ID so I could simply give the account away. But seeing as I have attached it to my "real" ID it will just sit unused collecting dust.
So in the end, it was pure greed on your part when the IOS/android mix happened. We could have had separate games and all would have been good. But now neither platform is stable or bug free.
