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

Alien8n: Sounds about right, the list at that time was saying

Sniper Elite
BG2
Sniper Elite (free)
Unwritten Tales

MGShogun: I also scooped up Mighty and Magic 6 pack after BG2. I was so shocked but I was lucky to get it.
Ah yes, that was the other one I slept through, was in between BG2 and SE(free) iirc

TurnipSlayerr: Ha, I thought you meant at work! I think I need to sleep :D

JudasIscariot: See, everyone, we had insomnia too :)
This sale has definitely lived upto its name. Gog.com should start giving away anti-anxiety pills for all the sleep deprived people.

israr665: Has Don't Starve passed yet ? or is there still a chance.
I remember you again. hopefully not figment imagination or old post. lol anywho to answer question no, not yet.

Schemilix: Mine were more towards white on the grey scale of morality in Shadowrun... That said the guy who decided to train a basically four year old elf to shoot more dakka probably had issues.

Faenwulf: Well, we played WH40k Dark Heresy before that and were more or less "white" guys (as good as that is possible with 40k), so we decided to go more into the dark grey part. Wet Work as such is still mostly out of the question tough.
Never had any regrets ever. ;)
I nearly played Dark Heresy, but then... we didn't. So that didn't happen. Because it didn't.
It would've been cool though. I played WFRPG.

Like that abortive Call of Cthulhu session that never was.
At least I finished a few tv seasons/series during this promo!
avatar
FreDDaN: You wanna know whats funny? PS4 launches today and here we are waiting for old classics too go on sale instead xD
I had the same thought. I actually forgot all about it until I checked the news at lunch today!

Captain_Picard: Rise of the Mag Keane Runner: Master of the Broken Sale*

PS You forgot the Book of unsold Tales

Johnmourby: Question: why do DnD games sell so well round these parts? I get why Plainscape and Baulder's Gate sell so well they're very famous games. But all the DnD games are huge sellers. Famous or not.
avatar
Faenwulf: Good Question.
Startet my rolepalying "career" with The Dark Eye.
Me too here it's called "Uno sguardo nel buio". Remenber playing it with my school friends in late 80's afternoons.

Navarreitor: Dont forget Thunderscape...
No no no! :(

Damn I hate sequels

dsross: As an idea for future sales, instead of freebies why not give a random chance of getting it for free only when you try to buy it? That way it goes to someone that genuinely wanted the game instead of someone that clicked the fastest before even seeing what it was.
great idea
Having hung in there with grim determination throughout this entire sale - yea, even through the dark hours of The Keaneing - can I just say that, when the last game's gone, it'll be SO anticlimactic if GOG just refreshes to the regular front-page without so much as a "That's All, Folks!" screen - preferably with that bear we've all seen so many times :-)
Sniper Elite sold so slowly, then two games later, it's a freebie....

and I couldn't even snag it as a freebie. I mean common guys you had all that time to get it but only when it's free do you get... wait... right.

The auto-bots, scripted clickers.... there needs to be safeguards against that somehow....

now some asshat has a game he doesn't even want.

I kinda don't want it either, but that's not the point here ^_^;;
