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

BG&E: The craziest soundtrack ever?

Rock out to this one while you wait for DC sale to finish. Also, bonus points to anyone who can make out the lyrics!
Are there any other "Keane" titles left in the mix? Just wondering since I have class in 1.5 hours....

WillOfD: Aren't we oversimplifying things if we say a digitally distributed game has almost an infinite supply? Games are not just compiled code.
avatar
Alien8n: It is an oversimplification. Supply is not just how many can be sold but also where they can be sold. For this reason games sold in supermarkets devalue rapidly as there are multiple competing outlets, but games sold exclusively through one venue, such as XBox market hold their value as there are no competing venues for the product. It's for this reason monopolies are frowned upon as they artificially inflate the value to what the producer wants to charge rather than what it's truly worth.
I think when it comes to digitally distributed goods the "how many can be sold" part of the equation approximates the demand. It's not like there are a billion copies existing on the get go. The copies increase as consumers try to obtain them.

Revenile: I should really be using this time to make some progress in Quest for Glory II...
I love that series. Are you playing the original or the SVGA remake?

hunvagy: Honestly? I'm passing time at work *hides from flak* But if it would come up again, I think I'd pick up Don't Starve, it's been bugging me for a while now.

Alien8n: lol, I've had jobs like that, spent 6 month doing nothing but surf the internet and playing Black Hawk Down at one job while waiting for redundancy.

This time I'm buying a few games with the ridiculously small redundancy package I get in a couple of weeks (turns out they owed me a week's holiday pay, that's all I get). Hence why I've been able to sit on here for the last 30 odd hours :)

Hopefully all change next week, 2 interviews on Monday :)
Well it's not as much redundancy, as a bad case of Fridays. Nothing I did today works, and because reasons and Microsoft, I have no idea why. I have been trying to solve the error for the last 4 hours, I'm exhausted. And my day ends in an hour xD

BeorntheBear: The Legacy of Jack Keane during this event will be a fond memory that I tell my grandchildren about when they ask questions about the good ol' days of gaming.
Oh yes! That is so true!
Jack Keane deserves even a meme. That's the greatest honor internet can give. Also i bestow onto the developers of such a game the great sum of 1000 internets!

LONG LIVE THE ETERNAL LORD!
LONG LIVE JACK KEANE!

Wasn't Shadow man also very slow last round?

BTCentral: You can get Lucius for $1 here, http://www.indiegala.com/?igdirt if you don't object to it being a Steam version rather than DRM free.
avatar
Khaleesia87: Oh well, the only problem is that there is no italian in Steam's version...mmmmmmm need to think about that.

Actually what are the limits of Steam's copies? in how many pc's can we install our games?
As many as you want, you're limited by how many pc's you can login to. So you can't play one game on one pc while someone else plays another on a second pc
