I do not recall getting an email from chess.com. Probably a hoax message or something.

If the site shuts down so be it.

If it isn't just the prices changing thing that Martin mentioned, delete the email and don't click any links or reply. Possibly a scam email of some type.

Looks like the prices are going down or something and will affect premium membership.

Correct, if you maintain your membership, nothing changes.

That's a known issue and a problem on the Facebook side. You can contact support directly to try and get a password set in the account: https://support.chess.com/article/346-contact-us

    Its not just paying for servers. All the chess pieces that are used on chess.com are stuck on a cargo ship, stuck in the harbor. It will be months before we can play chess again....

I say we overtake the ship and toss all the pieces into the harbor to protest. Who’s with me?

I don't care much, if chess.com shuts down I will stick to lichess, and it is way better, everything free
