Pirates of the Burning Sea Dev Closing Down, But It May Not Be the End

Portalus Games is the developer of Pirates of the Burning Sea, but has announced that the studio is closing down effective September 30th due to the departure of Hamled, “the only code writer associated with Portalus Games” and without him, no one else has the skills to write new code. As a result, the remaining developer wanted to give the community 30 days notice because they “believe the first possible replacement for Portalus Games as operator should be with the game community itself.”
