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

moonshineshadow: Wasn't Shadow man also very slow last round?
Yeah, that was one of those. Hopefully it won't come up soon and only with a small number.

Khaleesia87: Thank you for the suggestion! If I buy from Indiegala where will I get my games? on steam?

Because Steam's version of Lucius doesn't have my native language available while GOG one does =/
avatar
Cardian: Indiegala is mainly Steam and Desura, but most times you also get a DRM-free download. The language thing will probably be a problem then.
Do they say whenever it's Desura or Steam or any other platform before the purchase? *dumb question* *but I just wanna be careful, my paypal balance is crying*

Rock out to this one while you wait for DC sale to finish. Also, bonus points to anyone who can make out the lyrics!

BeorntheBear: Thanks for the play list suggestion. I need something to wake me up and keep me motivated. ;-)
Gotta keep morale up! :)

I think a lot of folk have to admit this thread and the sale event itself has been as much fun as a lot of the games. I've enjoyed my time here.
I'd REALLY REALLY REALLY wanna buy Dragon Commander, if only it wasn't a strategy but an adventure game or RPG... but I guess Original Sin will be just that, so I'll wait...

Stoltverd: The survivors of jack keane deserve a free game at least....
So you would like a copy of jack keane? :D

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.
avatar
WillOfD: 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.
True, but my argument about outlets still holds true, just look at the price of games on the XBox market, about twice what you can buy them for as a physical product in many cases as there are no competing digital markets
It looks like the trailer for "Noah" with Russel Crowe and Emma Watson is out:

Revenile: I should really be using this time to make some progress in Quest for Glory II...
avatar
BeorntheBear: I love that series. Are you playing the original or the SVGA remake?
Original, got it here shortly after it became available. I want to experience the games as they originally were, so EGA for parts 1 and 2.

Don't you dare mock the Jack Keane incident! Many good men and women were lost that day!

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?
avatar
Alien8n: 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
Good, then no problems at all...except the fact that I want Lucius to be in italian of course.

All games in the DIRT bundle are redeemable on Steam, I can't say if you also get a DRM free version or not because I have not purchased it - no mention of one though, so I would assume it's Steam only.

Yes, saw it two times already. Should be coming up later in this round.

Nice. True old school gaming. I remember the Christmas when my uncle first got "Hero's Quest" (original title before changing it to Quest for Glory); very fond memories.
