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

jpwiseguy: I'm on 100mb and although I click the split second I see a freebie come up, I am denied every time. :(

xenxander: I was just the lottery winner, plain and simple.. I was even on a skype call, talking with my 8-bit renditions group about voice acting for the comic and I saw it and 'click!' - got it!

WOOOOT! That was last night.
Yeah...it's just luck, which I lack sadly.

However my elite ninja skills have made up for it a bit.

Buenro-games: Oh GOG, you gone and goofed.
It's very clever when you think about it.

GOG offer free games, so nobody can say they're greedy.

The people who get the free games probably don't care about them, so the people who do care still need to buy the game.

Buenro-games: Everyone who has gotten over 2 free games is a dirty stinkin communist. Should be outed and chicken feathered.
I actually feel kinda bad about that. The second one I got was a game I already had...didn't know beforehand because I clicked the button before I could even see what it was. Gave it to a friend in the end.

But yeah, it might be easier to do now. Something tells me that a lot of people have turned their head away from this sale thanks to the last few slow burners, so you'll be more likely to grab some of these freebies. Heck, the latter two I got were from this final round!

tinyE: I know Rogue Legacy is hard but is it 'start over from the very beginning every time you die' hard?
NO
BUY EEEEEEEEET

dal4fsu: Do you think Rogue Legacy will be any cheaper than this any time soon like BF or Christmas sales?
No. In a year maybe.

A ninja keeps in the shadows always

BTCentral: Ah, but the best Ninjas learn to hide in plain sight. ;)
I believe a Ninja is a person who grabs a key, and doesn't make a post about having taken it.
I think I'm done.... which means I'll see something pop up cheap and break down and get it.....

Theif Gold
Thief 2
Thief 3
Wing Commander 4
Myst
Nexus Jupiter Incident
Don't Starve
Rogue Legacy

and I won I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream.

All for less than the cost of a bargain bin console game + sales tax here.

BlueLemon: Haha, I'm so groggy I didn't notice they spelt it wrong, good eye. ;)
Heh - I'm one of the lucky ones that went to bed during the Lost Book of Keane saga... plenty of sleep... :D

Damn, your logic is foolproof. Hadn't thought about that.

darkmoment: Where is my System shock 2 and war game?
avatar
xenxander: I am the lucky ass-hat who has only a 20mb internet connection on wireless no less, and got the freebie system shock 2 xD

I'm awesome.
Still a 20mb DSL, wifi or not. Us peasants that live in tech-impaired countries with crappy 7mb connections are doomed to fail to start with.

Morkalum05: Rogue Legacy is buying up quick!
This is nothing, dear friend... it went under a minute in the two previous rounds, like a machine-gun clip emptying.
Now I feel guilty having gotten it for free yesterday without even having ever heard of it. My first freebie from this sale, actually.
