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

I can totally figure out all GOG employees having a trollface.

ahab: It was no different to any sale in a brick and mortar store and if seeing "x number left buy now" is pressuring you to buy you need to rethink your priorities. If anything GoG have brought out some classic human behaviour that has been amusing to watch.
And you know what? I do not like those sales also, where as false pressure is created. And it do not make sense for a digital store, where there is no physical stock to be sold out, to create this effect except to pry on those amusing human behaviors. I do not like it when a demand is artificially created do just so. And that is what I am objecting to. You may like it, I do not at all.
How do they expect a $23 game to fly off of shelves? This game seems overpriced even at 50% off.

gogbot: Divinity Dragon Commander?! Seriously?! Someone at the GOG offices is laughing so hard right now.
TWOHUINDERTANDFIFTY COPIES. There is a big defect in their heads.
Hardly surprising though, it says it right there in the list:

Thunderscape $2.39
Divinity: Dragon Commander Imperial Ed. $22.49
Rollercoaster Tycoon 3: Platinum $5.99
Beyond Good and Evil $2.49
La Mulana $2.99
Neverwinter Nights: Diamond Ed. $1.99

For how long it follows this list is another matter.
yeah that's it for me . Gonna get a couple more hours of sleep. I'm sure I'll be safe and still have a chance for Don't Starve later. This is gonna take like half the day im sure =P if not the whole day to get through.

MGShogun: Crap.

Looks like I won't be able to grab Icewind Dale after all. I'm too tired now.

Farewell, guys. :)

Dream land is calling out my name.

It was an honor, you guys.
You never know, there might be a few more slow ones coming up, and Icewind could still be there after you wake. ;)
Time to play some pokemon
In case anyone missed this one

This game looks great but I'd have put a game that price on pretty much any time BUT people reluctant to spend more after buying an absolute fuckload of games which... does add up.

I want Dragon Commander, honestly, but even I'm not spending 20 dollars for it on impulse even with this exchange rate.

jamyskis: Ha! Dragon Commander at $22. This is going to be fun.
Divinity: Drag On Forever Commander
So, the dragon it is, huh. Back to PoE then.

Cardian: Crap, that's far too expensive for me....

trebor8273: you said NO MATTER WHAT, you have to buy it now ;)
But...but.... then I can't afford Rogue Legacy... on the other hand, when the next game comes up, I'll have two more paychecks in my pocket.
