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

If any one has the burden of a spare copy of Sniper Elite, T.A., Deus Ex, Witcher 1 or System Shock 2. I am more then grateful to have them.

JohnnyCash: If I had made the horrible mistake of buying it before - yes, of course. But I didn't, so I can't give it away. It's forever stuck in my collection!!!
Now you have something to remember the Great Jack Keane Sale of 2013 by. :-D

Well, even though BOUT seems to be going by *relatively* quickly, definitely past my bedtime now. Been a pleasure hanging out with all you fellow GOGers.

Hey GOG, if you're watching, here's an idea for future promos like this! :)

I was thinking... a better way to do this sort of promo that keeps more people glued to their seats all day long would be to have each game as a promo for 5 minutes max. In that time you sell as many copies as people are hip to buy, then it moves on to the next game regardless. This gives each game equal wall clock time, and everyone is likely to stick around for longer. You can also put a max game limit per game if desired but a fixed time interval would be better on the customer side IMHO. Instead of interspersed freebies, have a contest where you show some secret code words in between games or something and if someone collects a few of the hidden messages they can enter a contest to win a few free games or something.

That would get rid of the problem of one game blocking the promo progression and causing people to lose interest and go do something else, and would solve the problem of people being frustrated and angry with missing out on freebies, some of whom claim to have bought over 100 GOG games and wont ever buy from GOG again due to feeling cheated on the freebies.

Anyhow, just some feedback. (Yeah, feedback to support is probably better but I'm lazy right now.) :)
