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

mistermumbles: Well, shit. Don't Starve shows up as a freebie so of course no mortal has a chance to get it. Just let me buy the damn thing, GOG! Grrr. I've been waiting for that one to reappear (while I'm home) for two the better part of two days.

northern7: it is still in the rotation for sale at least for you...i got it already.
I know. Actually, as soon as I saw it popping up I thought "Yay! Now I can finally buy it." But... NOOOOPE! So yeah, I actually would have preferred it to have been the non-freebie.

npalsensei: Just for the record, those freebies that appeared, all had the Last Chance tag, and SS2 was one of them. Just saying...

Beelzebubb: Didnt Berlin appear twice this round? first on sale then as a freebie? Im confused now.
Yes. Aquanox too, so I guess the "last chance" thing isn't true for freebies. Also how do people even have time to register if there's a tag or not? It flashes by so fast...

Buenro-games: Seriously GOG, if you do that lame free shit with Thief 1, your promotion will officially suck ballz....
... I don't see how it sucks ballz to have a few copies given away for free during a sale where you get things dirt cheap anyway. Just because most people won't get the freebie doesn't mean the whole thing sucks.

I don't remember, I'm just saying that even freebies have last chance tags (those I actually manage to SEE) so unless we can get confirmation that freebies in 3rd round do appear in normal sales, it's gonna be bad xP

EDIT: Ah, good to know then xP

.....aaaaand I couldn't stop my temptation. Aquanox 2 is mine now.
Hey guys, If a game shows up as free in this last run but hasn't been on sale a third time it will come on sale again. Am I correct that it says "last chance" for free games? Cause that's not accurate for games which haven't been on sale three times.

It looks like AkeaNox 2 is here for a while. Might as well relax.

Kinda figured everything will rotate around again but thanks for the confirmation.
