My.com has announced that it will be sunsetting Cloud Pirates on September 29th. There is no definitive word on why the game is closing, but it is safe to assume that it simply did not catch on as the company had hoped.
From now through September 29th, several buffs will be enabled for those who continue to wish to play, all DLC will be available for free and any purchased items can be refunded for other My.com premium currencies.
