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

Vestin: Guys? I got it. I got a free game. People let their guard down when Omerta was up, so I snatched "Two Worlds" :D!

groundhog42: Congratulations, but ssssshhhhhhhh!!! - don't spoil the conspiracy theories!
Stop talking to bots.
i got my 2 worlds while the browser was still loading, never went anywhere except the overload screen with the earth and bear. but still got the game

abr_alex: Got Two Worlds 2 for Free! :) My first freebie
Congrats! :)

mattymuc: How many games are left in this promo?
34.

ReynardFox: Holy shitballs, I actually got one. (Two Worlds 2)

BTW, I got the overload thing, but I just refreshed the page and it said I had the game.
Lucky you!

roninnogitsune: But the time frame is reasonable! That's the point. 24 hours is plenty of time to make a decision. alot of these deals you barely have minutes.
They still offer the regular sales. Publishers might not allow them to be quite as good when they don't have limits on them though.
34 games remainng
Oh come on... I even got a "service overwhelmed" notice when trying to write this post about getting "service overwhelmed" notice when trying to get almost every one of the free games.

I really like this sale- a lot of good deals, so I don't care that they are limited. I'ts reasonable. But the free ones are only leading to frustration. It would have been better if there was just one free game at the end of the sale, easily avaiable for everyone.

Although, whoever managed to get those free games would surely disagree :D
Surely all these can't be real sells. I can see why Gog would want to keep up the pressure by making to meter move continously. 200 copies of Omerta for 8 bucks, sold in what, five minutes? After it had been offered for free an hour earlier.
Now Jack Keane 2 is selling, slow, but steadily, for 12 dollars. Has anyone on here paid for Omerta or Jack Keane 2?

JimNyxon: Long-time silent GOGger and supporter here. I've lost count of how many friends I've introduced to GOG, and I love the platform. However, let me add my voice to those saying this sale is kind of a bad idea. Like many of your customers, I do work... and sleep... and I've heard that I'm missing deals on games I'd love to buy. What's worse is that due to latency issues that are invisible to the average web-surfer, most of the freebies are literally impossible for us to obtain, even if we click the very instant it shows up on our screen. I've been lucky to be online for three of them, with my mouse positioned perfectly to click immediately, but I just get a busy server message.

GOG, I love that you're trying to do something cool and different, but (first world problem, I know) I honestly wish you wouldn't punish those of us with jobs, school, and slower/more distant connections. You're trying to do something neat for us, and I love you for it, but it does feel like I'm not getting access to your cool sale when others are.
Except you're not being punished at all.
By the time I click on the freebies it says offer expired. lol
Hilarious.
Well so far I've got the old leisure suit larrys. I'm hoping for gobliiins though.
Jack Keane's stuck at 24. Hm, Jack Bauer, I presume?

Onox: I agree with the ones not liking this promo :/ I find it unfair, and GoG is making us waste time

Yes, it was offered for free, but how many copies? And what makes you think only those who got it for free are interested in the game?
