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

unacomn: This sale was deviously brilliant. Whoever designed it is a marketing and sales genius, also probably evil and bent on world domination.
GOG's marketing director says hi!
Keane Commander... damn it.
Finally! Insomnia Sale Round 3: Beyond Thunderscape.
OH NOES.

The next Keane is up!

Let's see some proof of that Dragon Commander-ness then :)
Well, time for breakfast, I don't expect Keane Commander to go very fast....

amok: And I still do not see what the % of the discount have to do about what I did not like about the sale... do you say that I should accept things I do not like if the price is right? I do not work that way, sorry.
No, I'm saying that the regular sales had other discounts. You were the one comparing this sale with the regular ones, but rememberig only the good parts (more time to decide) and forgetting the bad one (smaller discounts or cumulative "the more you buy the more you get").

amok: Saying that there is 200 left is a white lie, when there is going to be more, does not matter that it says elsewhere that this is not the case... coupled with the bar going down, this is a pressuring sales tactic. I despise those personally.
And what makes you so sure you could get the same game again? I didn't get Heroes 3 in the first sale and I missed the second one and I'm pretty sure I'll be AFK when and if the third and final sale will be on so that "here is 300 left" seem very true to me.
Also saying that "until 18 december you can buy a game at 75% discount" could be a lie because we all know the particular game will be discount again in time.

amok: You liked the sales? That's fine, and good for you. Personally I did not like them at all, I felt they are trying to tap into things I do not like in manipulative marketing, and gog did fall a bit in my estimate for doing this. That is the feeling I am left with after this sale. Your feeling may vary.
I have mixed feelings about this sale. I do hope to see something similar (and improved) again but I also hope the regular sales will remain.
