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

Jakkar: I thought LSLarry would buy me some time to get some food, but they're more than half gone already ;-;
The Real Texas might help you out.
So is there anyone who could get a free game?
What is the bloody point of the FREE GAME if it crashes the servers as soon as it appears?

BLOODY USELESS!!!!!!!!!
And again, insta-gone..... Someone call the bot police! :P
Ok, the free games are getting stupid. I can't click on anything without it saying expired (if it even shows up).
Ultima Underworld 1+2 was the last freebie
The frees are impossible. they are gone even before you see them. Come on, a few extra copies please.

alebelp: I think GOG made a big mistake not putting captchas to the free game.. i seriously suspect the "winners" must be bots! I didn't even get the chance to see Beyond Good and Evil that it disappeared a nanosecond later!

hedwards: I think the problem is connection speed. By the time the last Thunderstorm showed up for me, there were already 8 of them gone. And by the time I clicked half a second later, they were all gone.
maybe you're right... but then again it could have really helped putting some captchas anyways, just to clear any doubt!

F4LL0UT: I agree. One of the things I value about GOG is that it normally avoids exclusivity as well as exploitation of blind consumerism, at least it approaches these things far more carefully than the competition and to me it makes GOG appear like a sophisticated place that respects me and every other consumer. This promo goes absolutely against all of this.
It's cool & funny promo, new style, and you said that only because you've missed a lot of sales.
Nice, free games for 0,2 seconds, but no chance, always the server overloaded....

PirateNeilsouth: Free games are a bit dodgy, they are gone as soon as it appears... BOTS perhaps?

Other than that this is possibly the best ever deals so far on gog, none of that pay what you want crap!
I'm probably going to give up on this. I've clicked immediately twice in a row and the offer has been out before it could load the page. Seeing the free game be up for less than a second really undermines my interest in buying anything during this sale.

xizar: I think this is a bad idea for the average consumer (or anyone who doesn't live in front of a computer screen) as opposed to the person willing to leave a browser page and maintain CONSTANT VIGILANCE!
The "average consumer" LOSES NOTHING.

It's a bloody scam that's what it is, they are gone even before it appears!
