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

Alien8n: I don't need to click that, I have a teenage daughter blasting xmas songs from the tv downstairs :(
Haha, I dare you, you never know they might not have played this one yet. ;)

justachap: Did I just miss another free game?
Nope.com
My laptop won't run this commander game or I would get it. Looks kind of cool in a way. I'm playing through Divine Divinity right now my guy is up to lvl 32...decent game.

May I suggest an order of some Cthulhu then? Complete with a Solstice Tentacle.
While we wait for the Dragon Commander to flip... I have an extra gift code for any of the broken sword titles (1,2.3 or 4) or in cold blood. Just give a shout and I'll see if the reward option is still valid and will PM the code to the first one to call out which of the titles they'd want.

Revenile: Yeah GoG, wasn't the entire point of this sale to have deals that were so quickly gone that you couldn't blink, and enough deals to not want to sleep to see what's next? Doesn't it defeat the purpose to force us to wait HOURS on a game that sells maybe one unit every 5 minutes? Here's an idea, if the thing doesn't sell out in 15 minutes, move to the next deal, and put the rest of these remaining 'stock' at the back of the line, that way we don't have to wait for the games we are waiting for. This is getting stupid.

Planeforger: To be fair, it is the "Fall Insomnia Promo". Quite a few people are going to be missing out on sleep waiting for the next game to appear, so it seems to be within the spirit of the sale.

Still, I agree that there should be some sort of fail-safe included - maybe if the game doesn't sell a single copy in 15 minutes, it should be switched out?
Almost everybody is suggesting the same thing. I think the general consensus on the need for a timer is unanymous.

Yes please! Any of them will do, don't have any of them yet. :D

Psykopat89: Yes please! :D

Faeja_Vu: Or a really big bowl of cereal for us morning folk.

jamyskis: I'd say that watching that meter count down is like watching paint dry, but actually I think paint dries faster.
I wish they had the courage to pull the slow burners or discount it heavily to move them. They havent.

Aspenwood: If they follow the pattern they've been doing so far on round 2-3, RT3: P will be up next for sure, and they may go as bar as BG&E & LM... but after that there'll be a jump elsewhere in the list for sure.
avatar
dal4fsu: I hope they get to BG&E as I have missed that one somehow every time. I'd like to pick it up and that seems like it may be a decent price point.
Completely forgot that game was on the list.

Well, it was true for the first round (except a few games). It was mostly true for the second round (except for slightly more games). I think most people already bought everything they wanted, so it's natural that the third round is slower...

Would love 2nd or third!

Shendue:
Why? no one has given a reason apart from the fact they want to buy something and the current game is taking to long for them to wait

selfish and greedy

Why can't the sale last a week or more, why does it have to be over in a couple of days?
