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

Fictionvision: Don't forget Cognition at $10. That will be another brick wall.

babaganoosh13: Which would be too bad if it started getting some slack because GOG threw up too many copies of it. $10 really is a fantastic price for it. I didn't flinch at $16 to upgrade when I got the first two on IGS a while back.
Newer game with a price point above $5 is like the kiss of death in this sale it seems.

For Cognition, I was waiting for all episodes to be out and catch it in a sale then.

Fictionvision: It seems there have been quite a few people after the Thief games in this sale.

I had no intention of getting them, then got 2, then 1 and ended up getting 3 earlier today.

DubConqueror: I was hoping to get Thief 3 to complete the series. Was the 3 earlier today the third and last round or is there still a chance of it appearing again?
It was at the end of cycle 2

Is it sad that I am kind of hoping for one of them so I can get some freaking sleep?
avatar
babaganoosh13: Is it safe to assume everyone here has Witcher 1? I've got a couple of them left over.
I dont :)
I think it's really sad, BOUT is going so slow. I love that game.

Jordanwts: I wonder how long GOG thought this sale would last. Surely it's gone on way longer than they first anticipated.
yes, and this is a HUGE success for them! It is all about getting people to spend money they wouldn't have otherwise...and the whole random thing and limited time/quantities pressure I am positive have resulted in lots of games being bought by peeps that never would have purchased otherwise too.

You'll see other digital download game companies follow suit.

Actually I don't so if you have a spare key...
Thank you, BOUT, it seems like Rogue Legacy and I have no mouth are still to come and I managed to get some hours of sleep. Nice ^_^
Now, I'm stuck in hilarious traffic jam. Fell like an unwritten tales game:)
No progress
Looking at how long this round is taking think tgog should of just had 2 rounds or shorting the amount of games that are on sale for the last round

If nothing else this sale has shown what does make them money.

5 hours of Jack Keane 2 at $12 got them $360 at the 30% cut, not counting server and credit card fees.

Neverwinter nights 2 at $4 got them $1680 at the 30% cut in a minute and a half.

Thanks for The Witcher 1. Is there supposed to be a way to redeem the game via Steam also?
My Witcher copies are gone now.

I'm glad they didn't do just two rounds, I'd have missed the game I want. D:
So, what game are you guys hoping pop up next?
