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

Jack Keane 2500 copies. At least we could afford 7 hour sleep.

BastienN: which one was freebie? not even the time to see
Under a Killing Moon.

jasperline: Magrunner: Dark Pulse; any good? I don't have enough to pick it up, but it looks fun. Can it be recommended?
Yes. I really enjoyed it. It does a great job of the whole first-person puzzle thing and it has pretty nice visuals/atmosphere too.

I was gone for a couple of hours and am aware that BG2's ship already sailed, but did the first part had its last chance also?
Can't sleep... must wait for right game... must not fall asleep! focus! FOCUS!

Cardian: Sooooo, anyone willing to trade my System Shock 2 for their Nexus or I have no mouth and I must scream?
Is that last part a reference to the game by that same name, or...?

You guys are lucky the higher ups didn't go for my idea of blocking all sales on the site until 10000 copies of Jack Keane 2 were sold. ;)

I will have to add it to the list for Christmas then, thank you.

Primate: UAKM was gone a little too fast. Not sure if it would have been practical, but a timer on the sale would have been nice.

Karma313th: That's the way freebies have gone all sale.

Fractions of a second, so...

The timer idea coupled with a random "draw" has been proposed as a possible alternative to the "beat the scripts" fast-click fest it is right now.
Sounds reasonable.

justanoldgamer: OK, anyone has a problem with the front page not refreshing?

It happened to me twice today in two different browsers (Chrome and Firefox) on Windows 7.

Right now my browser was still showing Anodyne and someone here posted about purchasing Startopia. I refreshed the page manually and it's Magrunner.
That's happened to me several times throughout this promo. Also sometimes when there's a free game and I get taken to the "expired" page, the home page goes back to the previous game and gets stuck there for awhile. It's really irritating, especially when the previous game had 1000 or so copies and you have to sit and watch the meter drain over and over before it actually shows the next game.

You should have done that.

It would have been funny to see that still on the front page while the holiday sale is going on.

OMG I've been waiting 31 hours for Don't Starve now, and all we get is the unobtainable 'freebie'.

Please God let it cycle in already.
