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

Devoidless: Ha, thanks for the sympathy. I've just had horrible luck with my timing and, well, luck. That 4.5 hour session with Keane yesterday didn't help things either. XD

I just want to get the games I want for a great price as opposed to pirating them. Because it's easier to buy on the cheap and re-download than find a torrent, download that and tinker with the game to work.
By the way, what games are you looking for?

Ghorpm: I think it's safe to assume that it's the longest thread ever, right? Even birthday forum giveaway wasn't that long...
avatar
Zchinque: There are three longer threads on the first page of the forums...
Ugh, I must be blind...

It's coffee time :)
This is pretty entertaining thread, me thinks. :D

Alien8n: I think we just hit the perfect storm moment when ANY game is going to go slow. ie time to wake up in the UK and time to go to sleep in the US. Believe it's just gone midnight in LA?

MGShogun: Yep, it's midnight here in Southern CA. Congrats...... you just won the cookie. :D
Not that difficult, I used to work for a company that had its headquarters in El Segundo so it's quite easy for me to remember that LA is 8 hours back :)

NwN2, Jade Empire, Planescape, System Shock 2 and Evoland.

NwN2 and Placescape are the 'fish that got away'. Those were the ones that ran out of stock or had the server bork mid-process.
