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

JohnnyDollar: Well, I haven't seen anyone come in here and complain about how evil the promotion is lately.

Meriande: The correct question would be how many more keanealikes will we get :P
Looking at that list I would say there's a few likely candidates. Let's hope GOG cut the numbers arbitrarily, or better yet, save them for last. :P

Chevette: It's been grand reminiscing with all the other old farts, but sadly now I have to work. Enjoy the sale! Don't get Keaned!
Same here and thank you. Remember to take your lunchkeane on time ;-)

Frostyfirefly: The best thing about NWN 2 is that you also get Baldur's Gate with it ;)
avatar
Kaitu: Wait... What?

Seriously???
Its a mod
avatar
Meriande: Now I'm just really scared NWN2 will be gone in seconds XD
So many people want it :)
avatar
Frostyfirefly: Nah, I don't think it will do down that fast, you will probably have at least two seconds :D
Yeah well I need to get 2 copies XD
Wonder if I'll be that fast
The worst thing that happens if you miss a Title in this sale, is that you would have to wait a few weeks before these titles go on sale again... so don't over-do it... eat, sleep if ye must...

UncleOvid: Well, I was trying to remember if it was Shadow Over Innsmouth or Dunwich Horror, so...

Am I totally making this up, or was there a game of At the Mountains of Madness too?
avatar
plan99: I don't recall any games made from actual Lovecraft titles/stories. IMO The Lurking Horror was closet in feel.
The lurking horror was ok. The best adventure with a lovecraftian feel was the uninvited guest for Amiga. Very good but i do not recall if it was only for amiga and did not have a pc version ...

I think we have a future Keane here.

N0w3gg: For me, even more than Deus Ex or SS2, was Starflight. That is the first game I ever played for something like 17 hours straight and eventually wondered why I felt weak and awful, then realized I hadn't eaten in all that time. Hahaha!
Oh! Oh my god! I remember playing that in, like, 5th grade on my friend's NES. We'd have, like, four of us over and play as a group -- one of us was captain, one did communications, etc -- and pretend we were on Star Trek.

...Oh my god. I just outed myself as a ginormous nerd, didn't I?

Infin8ty: Considering copyright laws. Even "abandonware" is technically illegal unless someone openly releases it into the public domain. This is where GOG has problems (and I don't do illegal things, so same here). Every computer game ever made that holds a copyright cannot have had its term expire yet. It's simply not possible (at least in the US).
avatar
Kaitu: Really? Even if the company no longer exists and the licenses had been abandoned due to no one buying them?
Someone still owns the product, even if the company is defunct. It could be creditors technically cease the rights or that that some former employee has the license even if they chose not to utilize it. Also, some derivative works could come from the copyright, sequels etc.
