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

Just a head up here but in yesterday's sale (Master of Orion 1-2) I got charged by Paypal but the game never appeared in my queue. It was suggested here that I contact customer support. I did. The support page was easy to navigate and complete. I simply pasted my Paypal receipt into the comments section and when I woke up this morning to get back to the sales, I saw that MOO was in my queue.

If I had been reading my Emails instead of paying attention to the insomnia sales board I would have noticed the Emails from customer support way earlier. But I'm a happy camper.

Now with Div. Drag. up and 143 left at 22 bucks, I have a chance to get in a quick work out, grab a bite to eat, shower brush my teeth and then get back to the sales. hmmmmmm 138 left??? Maybe I better keep my Ipad close by . . .

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.
Aside from the fact that those are arbitrary restrictions designed to keep prices high, not economic mechanisms, none of what you say there makes much sense. Games sold in supermarkets, shops etc. devalue because supply outstrips demand. Games sold at retail are usually at a price reflecting the demand situation. Call of Duty 4 for the PC, for example, continues to sell at €20 at retail even though games 3-4 years newer are being sold at €5. The reason you'll rarely see games for less than €5 at retail is because cost of distribution and replication need to be factored in.

The problem with arguing about the pricing on exclusive digital outlets is that the vast majority of digitally distributed games - especially on consoles - are commercial failures in the light of the very fact that the pricing is arbitrary and not reflective of the actual market value.

The only reason that people pay for digitally distributed games is through moral, social or legal compulsion - sympathy with the producer ("the poor, starving developer syndrome"), social acceptance (associations of pirates being lazy and mean) and the threat of lawsuits. In that regard, what people pay for digitally distributed games is not the market value - it's patronage.

I probably would buy it if it weren't for the cost. Not exactly in my budget range at this time... Certainly not with my sights set on Riddick.

Well again, the game sold pretty well and relatively swift when it was up before, at the same price, yesterday.

I just think the market is pretty saturated now.

I would get one but the price isn't in my purse's capacity (medieval purse, genderless, before you jump to conclusions)
