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

xizar: All this does is manufacture artificial scarcity, which is something that doesn't exist for *any* of the products they offer for sale.
I think e.g. those Humble Bundles that won't most probably be repeated (e.g. the Origin HB bundle) are trying to mimic similar artificial scarcity, as in "If you don't buy this bundle now, you might never see them this cheap ever anymore.".

But this is taking it even further, giving you even less time to decide. Even though I am not going to participate in this sale, I must say I got a laugh how GOG itself is making a parody of this whole articial scarcity thing in their opening message. :)

And wow, this many messages in five hours for this one thread? Did I miss some big flamewar? :)

Has the best list for what's been up.


Also, I like this. I like this a lot. It reminds me of restocking on Neopets (yes, yes, I know) anyways, it's a fun sale. Me gusta. :D
A list of games that are included (preferrably in order) would be nice. Twitch gaming is one thing. Wasting time is another...

Ophelium: I'm just sticking to the wishlist, I'm just sticking to the wishlist, I'm just sticking to the wishlist...
Just hope that some of the game of my list appear.
Oh come on, who doesn't already own this?
King of Dragon pass...

Oh now it is ON!

CoreySteel: 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.
What purpose does this post serve? The freebies go exclusively to people with good connections and those of us on high latency connections get nothing.

If we don't complain about that, how will they know to fix the problem?

Everyone is spoiled!
The games are already damn cheap!
:D
This is going so fast that it's unbelievable.
Over 2/3 done with the sale (if the 15000 total games is accurate from the announcement video).
