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

Kaitu: Anyone else have the sinking feeling that the most popular/desired titles are going to be last? (D&D, Shelter, Don't Starve, Theme Hospital, anything Witcher related)
Say it ain't so. I want my life back.

Faenwulf: There is one thing I want to say in this thread:

It is utterly AMAZING how people here just BUY copies of games to gift them to complete strangers who can't afford them. Just for the heck, friendship and closeness of gamers.
This gives me back a bit of my hope for humanity. Thank you all and the gods may bless you!
That's because there are games here that a gamer needs to play and it's a crime to not have a copy due to lack of funds. :)

Arctrax: Im afraid you are right... still I dont want to loose hope yet. I can resist awake a few minutes more xD
I sure do hope not, but well it's plausible...
And oh my startopia is going through pretty fast!
Surprised how fast it goes...

jpwiseguy: Is Startopia really that good? I've never even heard of it until now.

Navarreitor: If you liked Theme Hospital, its a must buy.
I liked it a lot more than Theme Hospital and I loved Theme Hospital when it came out :)

Briareos262: InExile. Long live Brian Fargo! resurrecting the iconic Wasteland and bringing out the sequel too soon finally. Only took a couple decades =P the console industry part i mostly blame on that. And yeah he's doing a spiritual successor to Planescape too =)

REZistance: 465% funded.. that's killer. Something to look forward too :)
yeah many were really looking forward to it. I so badly wanted to be a statue ingame or even a NPC would have been awesome. Way too much money to get tho. so at least I was able to barely afford getting the collectors edition box. Only part I really had to think about was getting the poster or shirt for that tier. I went poster ^_^

During Steam sales I routinely give out about $25-$50 in free games because I know what it's like to be broke at just the wrong time. Not had the extra cash for this one, sadly
