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

senhorlampada: Damn, bro! Your latency must be really high.
My connection at work really sucks and I can see the promos! (except some freebies :()
avatar
hedwards: Sorry,. I meant the freebies. But, even some of the promos are kind of tough to get in on, just not as tough because fewer people are going for them.

I think I'll call it a day, as I have enough games and I'm really turned off by the obvious bias involved here.
Yep... the freebies are impossible...
I gave up on them already :| that sucks great
Well... There goes Heroes 5.
Heroes V for free LOL. Grats to bots.
We're at a stall. No one wants to give Phil any money.

Stooner: I bet it isn't selling half of what it's showing...

peixoto: Second that
Yep. People just click buy now buy buy buy, and then cancel.

That's why the discrepancy in the numbers.
$900 GPU thats being cripple by the internet. Who's idea was the cloud anyway?
Dammit it must be way over a 1000 people clicking at once.Missed the free deal.

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

Alexrd: I'm not under a good connection at the moment and already got some free games, and I'm also far away from Poland. Therefore it has nothing to do with how fast your internet speed is.
They have servers all over the world. And if I'm hovering the mouse over the buy button and clicking as soon as it shows up, I fail to see how it could be anything other than the connection speed. With that last one, half of the games were gone before it loaded.

I'm guessing the latency on your connection and the position of one of those servers is closer to you. I've tried 3 times and haven't gotten a single game, with most of the games being gone immediately.
Managed to get Hotline Miami. I clicked, and saw the sorry message, but then I checked my email and there was the order summary mail. :)

Vestin: Well... There goes Heroes 5.
Saw it, clicked on it, didn't get it. heh!
