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

Fictionvision: Has Deadly Premonition by chance shown up in this deal yet?
Not yet. I'm waiting along with you.

animalmother2105: I think it is far more than 1400 people. Something like 5000-10000?
With how fast everything is going I wouldn't be suprised tbh.

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

npalsensei: 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?
Kind of the point. Why only have 8 free copies when there are thousands. Kind of pointless. No one has even a slim chance of getting something. It's worse than a door buster on Black Friday.

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.
avatar
GhostwriterDoF: Actually, this promo is more like playing whack-a-mole... this ridiculousness is totally voluntary, and not exploitive...
It is Exploitative. It uses Scarcity to pressure them to buy the product, not to mention it is a show of complete disrespect to Customers time. This is car sales BS that I hope GoG never pulls again, and I hope no one else gets the bright idea too, it is a disrespect of the customer's time to pressure them to buy. I really felt GoG was customer oriented but this move is a hint of that being false.

I don't think so - it's too new.
Actually I would be playing it right now if this insanity wasn't going on. If you have some spare money - it's totally worth it.

hedwards: The freebies go exclusively to people with good connections and those of us on high latency connections get nothing.
it has nothing to do with that.
Alpha Centauri sold out in 68 seconds. O_o
And some people are saying that this type of TBS is obsolete, not popular and is not worth to be produced anymore.

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.

senhorlampada: Everyone is spoiled!
The games are already damn cheap!
:D
Not if there aren't any that you're interested in, they aren't.

marcusghost: Anyone know if Planescape Torment was in sale?
avatar
almabrds: Nope. Not yet.
Only Icewind Dale and Neverwinter Nights 2 so far from the D&D set.
Thanks Almabrds and Melhelix.
Myst: Masterpiece Edition 75% off
I bet it isn't selling half of what it's showing...

Sure it does, how else does a freebie go away before the page is even loaded?

No, customer oriented means providing good DRM free service. It does not mean not trying to make as many sales as possible.
