If I were in your position, I'd send all your users an email explaining what you just told us in this message. Heck, just use that message -- it was really well written.
Then let them decide what's next. Set up a google docs survey. You might be able to switch to a donation model, or a freemium model of some type. Or even just increase the price of your app by $1 and require them to go buy the new version to keep playing. I had a game company with a massively multiplayer social shoot-em-up game back in the 1990s. We eventually figured out that we couldn't make the business end of it work, so we shut it down. The players eventually took over operation of the game, and it's still alive today. Engaged networks of people can really surprise you.
