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

gandalf.nho: Thunderscape appeared for free
For about a second ;)
I think GOG needs to put more free ones up - they vanish before they've even appeared at this rate ;)

Geneforge seems to be slow... no wait spoke too soon there went half of them!
I like the idea of that promo. But its clear that the skript/bot users are cheating the normal users. I haven't seen one post in the forum that someone actually grabbed a free game.

Next Time add a captcha-check. Pretty please.
I'm not seeing any of the free games either.
Those freebie ones are bullplop, no offense to GOG or anything, but considering many don't even SEE them means the forum is where we find out. I wonder how many freebies are lost due to bots.
Missed Thunderscape damn them ninjas and i thought i was fast.
Guys, there's something really wrong with the freebies :-( Missed another one.

PS. Great promo nonetheless :-)
Anything from Spiderweb is good.

Maniac: Man that is bad, still not being able to get a free game...Mine is 236ms.

Vestin: Mine is 6ms and I still missed the free game ;P.
free games are for bots probably...
maybe GOG should put some worst selling game like e.g. Sensible Soccer 2006 for free to prove it is not the case...
I should probably give up on this sale, none of the free games are even showing up and I'm not fast enough due to bandwidth to get the ones I would like.
Wing Commander 4 now.

I think it's safe to say that all free games appear discounted too, which is fair I guess.
"The price of freedom". Seems like a pretty appropriate name...
Here's your second chance to get WC4 people! :)

keeveek: This is the most entertaining promo I ever witnessed.

And I only bought 1 game so far :P
I haven't bought anything, yet I agree! A long shot, but I'm waiting for Long Live The Queen.
