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

Aye, a wise policy... ;)
Alpha Centauri - this should go fast esp as it has the expansion now

Yeah... Right... *click*

Scorpionscythe: Ok, the free games are getting stupid. I can't click on anything without it saying expired (if it even shows up).

PirateNeilsouth: It's a bloody scam that's what it is, they are gone even before it appears!
All you people with the freebies issue do realize, judging by how fast the normal sales go, that we're a CRAPLOAD of people trying to get something like EIGHT (8) copies, right?

You are young, you will learn.

Ralackk: People need to stop shouting bots. I'd give a conservative estimate that at least 1400 people are on this promo right now just based on the fact 700 copies of NWN 2 went in minutes. Thats assuming only 50% of the people already had it which is low.

Now everyones chance of getting between 8-40 free games vs 1400 people is fairly low. Everyone is clicking like mad just like you are. Some are lucky most won't be.
I think it is far more than 1400 people. Something like 5000-10000?

marcusghost: Anyone know if Planescape Torment was in sale?
Not so far.
Psychonauts - 75%
I wish they'd make it a raffle and leave it open for 10 seconds. Then randomly select winners. It would be similar, but somewhat more fair to those of us with slower connections speeds. As it is clicking immediately is meaningless.
For guys who are complaining about this promo...

There were already lots of promos on GOG and lots of promos are coming in future.
Not every promo is for everyone. This one is for us, geeks.

Just deal with it and come back in a month for a crazy x-mas sale.
Run run!
Get Psychonauts now :D

mistermumbles: Seems like it's not even worth posting about the games because by the time you read about it it's not on sale anymore. Might as well just keep watching the front page like I'm sort of doing right now.
I guess you're right.

And it looks like the freebies are indeed part of the games on sale - Wing Commander 4 was also on, so I expect the others to also come up later.

Sorry, can't resist - is there anyone out there that still hasn't got Psychonauts?
