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

tinyE: One upside of this questionable promo is the fist fights breaking out in here between people arguing whether it's a good promo or not. :P
This made my morning.
Okay... 80% on Valdis Story, please? (not gonna happen, but...)
I won't be surprised if at some point GOG servers won't be able to take this traffic :)

cyboff: Is there a list what was in the promo already?
System Shock 2 was the 1st.

You guys don't buy impulsively on this site anyway? I do every time there is any sale on here.
Akwater is here!!!!
My god the self entitlement in this thread is freaking astounding, The point is NOBODY can sit and wait the whole time, but there trying to encroage you to, and to tell all your friends to go the the site right now cause they can get the game for cheap. It's a SALE just cause it's not the sort of sale your used to doesn't invalidate it, anybody might miss the game they want or get something really nice especially with super limited free products which is just like going to an event and getting in line first to get the nice fancy collectable they only have threehundred of. why is this so hard to wrap your head around? it's not gog being draconian it's them giving us the outstanding prices we have come to expect from them.
It would be interesting to also get a counter of how many more deals are left out of the 101.
nevermind...

BoxOfSnoo: Nice, Twitter updates when the next sale happens.
Not every single time, though. I've got sleep sometime, man. :P
I'm confused - the only game I see on sale on the front page is Don't Starve. Will other games come on sale only when Don't Start sells out?

would probably help prevent that if some people would just let the counter do it's thing and stop refreshing the page.

One at a time.
