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

Bovrillor: Two cups of coffee every hour for the last 31ish hours.

I've also taken the two largest dumps of my life.

I feel so ill :/

Faenwulf: You should really get some sleep.
I agree.

snip3rfire: I think if GOG ever run a sale like this again, it should come with a serious health warning or something. The lack of sleep I've got in the past few days because of my addiction to this sale is unbelievable. I've never experienced such a sale before.

Revenile: Or at the very least a countdown so that when a game stops selling for more than a few minutes it switches to a different game so that we don't end up sitting here for hours on a game that isn't selling, waiting for those sales to come in just to move to a different game.
I agree, we can only HOPE gog.com employees live and learn from this first attempt.

legitster: NVN Diamond had its Last Chance, fortunately NVN 2 still up for grabs if that helps.

MGShogun: Yeah, I remember that it pop up and I had a chance to grab it. But I chose not to because I was waiting for the other games.

MGShogun: TMI :(
When was that? Only D&D I have seen was BG2.
We are even now at the third round? Icewindale is yet arrived? Thank you, i'm back home now.

TurnipSlayerr: 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. ;)

While this sale is still going, I just want to take the opportunity to say thanks to everyone here for making this whole event so entertaining. I'm tired, I've been up all night, and I've pushed my credit card to the limit (well, kind of), but it's been worth it. This discussion thread has kept me entertained and informed for hours on end. So I am really thankful and grateful to be a part of this awesome community here on GOG.

I will not be sleeping until I have Do Not Starve for 5 bucks.

Nor will I be purchasing anything else, making this sale format a real nightmare.
The smart people grabbed NWN and NWN2 yesterday/last night. Both of them sold so fast that the numbers were practically scrolling.
You know what's funny?

I bought Icewind dale new, in the box, when it was out in stores all those years ago... and I've never yet opened it.

Now I have a DRM free digital copy here on GOG. Hmm.. I guess there's no excuse now not to try it.

istudedinre: You heard it here first, folks:
Second to last deal will be 10k copies of Jack Keane 3: The Pre-order.
Last deal will be 1 free copy of Grim Fandango.
Lol, isn´t Grim Fandango among the most wanted games on GoG=)?

DukeDuvel: If only for your presence and the fact you're responding and reading the thread, I will be a much more frequent visitor of your site/shop!

And that is before making a brilliant dared post :)
Nice to hear. We have a great community (and games) so I'm sure you'll enjoy your visits! :)
