Deals so good, you won't want to fall asleep.
You remember back when you used to walk into a store, browse the shelves, pick out a game, and then buy it--all in the actual real world? We don't know about you, but most of us at GOG.com have had our limbs atrophy to small vestigial nubbins since all of our shopping happens online these days. Of course, one thing that sometimes happens in real world stores with real world goods--particularly when they have a good sale--is that they run out of stock. Usually that means that the deal was so good that they couldn't keep up with demand.

Well, in the digital realm, this is usually pretty rare. How do you run out of stock on digital games, short of entropy devouring the universe? Well, we have gotten 101 games that will be on sale on the front page of GOG.com, but the discounts are so high at the moment that we can't just sell an unlimited number of copies of these games: we are only able to sell a few at these discounts--up to 80% off--and once they're gone, they're gone.

So what games will be on sale in our Insomnia promo? Bestselling classics and new games alike. There will also occasionally be some free games in super limited numbers (like, 20 or 30 copies)--if you're fast enough on the trigger finger to pick 'em up, that is. The deal will run from now until we're out of "stock" of games for the sale, and games may show up more than once. So it's time to bathe in a tub of coffee*, dip some espresso**, snort an energy drink***, or do whatever else it takes to stay up so you don't miss out on the best deals on fantastic games on GOG.com since summer.
*This is probably not a good idea
**This is definitely not a good idea
***This is totally safe, though****
****NO IT'S NOT WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU CRAZY PERSON

malkavianer: **This is definitely not a good idea

Sorry guys but this idea is totally absurd. You sell digital games. They can`t out of stock. And you are not such idiots like Amazon. You don`t need this kind of marketing.

You sell dreams. Dreams from the past. From times, where we all are young, happy and free. The time where our games are free. You give us the possibility to dream old dreams again. Doesn’t matter what OS or what PC-Generation we are running. And this is priceless.

So please don`t waste your time with this kind of marketing. Find new old games and give also in the future the possibility to dream to us. To all these men and woman who wants to be child again. Stay our fairy from the past. That’s enough. And you do fantastic job in this.

Greetings and big thanks from Germany.

We are here trying to gain another free game.

truhlik77: I wonder If people who buy RotT have intention to play it or not.

bew1977: Between Steam Sales, Humble Bundles and now this I have a backlog of 250 games... Intention is not the right word. Of course, it has almost made me jaded to any game over $5. :( I'm patient and can wait for the better deal.
Which is hilarious because of this.
(Ctrl+F for "Steam sales")

petitmal: Do you have a fast connection?
He's in Germany, so he's probably got a much lower ping to the GoG servers than the rest of us scrubs.

Fictionvision: Jack Keane 2!
What? No, Rise of the Triads, of course. I'm a hero, but not that big a hero. When Jack Keane comes on, I'll go to sleep.
I wish there was some sort of timer :(

petitmal: Do you have a fast connection?
Not especially, normal ADSL2 (16 Mbit, ~50ms ping to gog.com) with ... unusual ethernet at home^^ (modem -> router -> ethernet-av-bridge -> router -> wlan)
Check out this pastebin of the number of copies for each game and round: http://pastebin.com/EejhUqmq

Nearly every game's quantity doubled in round 2, with few exceptions (Wargame went from 100 to 75).

That means we could be facing 200 copies of Jack Keane if round three repeats everything again.
They are learning resistant, hm. Stop this crap, GOG team.

Make a timelimit of 15 minutes.
