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

ferer56: Will Pharaoh be on offer?
Nope
Oh, geeze, this is still going? It's JK2 all over again! :-(

I played a few rounds of Dota 2, got start on Valdis Story, did a good chunk of Blackmoor Mountain in Dust (and found the awesome Simon's Quest reference), caught up on some blog reading... and this one is still here!

I haven't played it yet, but look at the screenshots, people! It's so pretty. You know you want it!
Maybe GOG was counting on fact it has a quite a few adventure game lovers it offers so many copies..
With still much more games left in this
Insomnia sale, I fear it will carry on well
Into the weekends if we have more of such
"Book of Eador Keane" situations.

Man I had hope to kill my wallet if there
Is a separate weekend sale list.
Argh! And I missed BG2 for the 3rd time? :(
crap i miss master of magic :{

zeffyr: Argh! And I missed BG2 for the 3rd time? :(
I think so yes. About 3 hours ago.

Fictionvision: Don't forget Cognition at $10. That will be another brick wall.
avatar
nijuu: So we have
Divinity Commander
Cognition
Wargame
Omerta
etc...

hopefully they will only be in very limited quantities :D
You know, it may have been mostly due to when it went up, but Divinity Dragon Commander hasn't really taken THAT long to sell out when it rotates around. Especially for a $22.50 game

Though with round 3 going at a snail's pace for half the games or more so far, that could change.

At this rate I may miss out on the Icewind Dales. Bah :/

dante82: Oh, and BTW, a noob question - what if somebody catches a free game one's already have? Is there any point in doing that (to get a code to gift around?) Or it will simply go to waste?
You'll get a code :)

Blazz17: the feels bro, the feels.
So I'll have to trade a code for SS2 (bought in case of such situation)... Sigh.
