Quoted from EaglePin:

I hope JJP hasn’t abandoned #JJPOTC but I don’t have any reason to think otherwise and I don’t have any reason to have confidence in them. With no code updates since the end of April, no communication, and having only ever issued two code updates for the game there’s no reason to think they’re putting any effort into Pirates at all anymore.
I think it’s clear now that even in the first part of the year their effort was on getting Wonka developed instead of updating Pirates. Seems like their full attention is on Wonka and I’m sure they’re also now working on whatever their next title is. Seems like leaving Pirates incomplete at .99 should not be a precedent they’d want to set, but there’s no indication that they seem to care at all. They’ve updated previous titles, but for JJP their past performance doesn’t seem to be a reliable indication of how they’ll handle things today.

Quoted from apinballwiz:

That's the billion dollar question. I sure hope so. I believe JJP has the license for a couple more years. Unfortunately being that the games profit margins were razor thin and the complexity of the game to build in a business sense it may not happen. However, if the demand is high enough (which I believe there would be) I think another edition will surface perhaps next year, assuming playfield issue has been resolved. Just too good of a game for JJP not to give it a second look.

Quoted from PanzerFreak:

Sure sounds like the game is done for good. I think JJP wants to move on from it and onto more games like Wonka (slightly scaled back in terms of features and built for on location play).

Quoted from PinballTilt:

Didn't jjp say at their expo seminar another run wouldn't happen unless distributors got enough deposits? I thought I heard that. I think they'll do a final run myself, but I decided not to hope and bought an se
