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

charbon: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK just when I manage to grab Two Worlds 2 and get to the checkout page, here comes the bear...
Check your account. I did so on a separate tab, refusing to give up, and the game was there, waiting for me.
just come back home from work I hope I haven't lost great sale on games I want. But now I'm here :P
Come on jack Keane 2!!! you can do it!
The counter is broken, or nobody wants Jack Keane 2? :)
What did I miss since Omerta?

maul_inc: Eh... I'm like a few 100 miles from Poland. can't get shit. offer never pops or the has crashed. for me that is...

That's why I keep yapping about this stuff being ruined by bots.

hedwards: Possibly. I think the basic idea here is awesome, but the implementation requires some more thought. I really think that clicking the buy should enter the people during that window into a drawing to win it would be more equitable. Then guarantee that it's up for at least 10 seconds with some sort of anti-bot check.
i Was thinking the exact same thing. Could be fun with a lottery for say the first 1000 clicks on a freebie.

Ps. I did get some nice deals here. just silly seing error messages or that i was too late when i click as soon as the offer pops.

mattymuc: How many games are left in this promo?
34
Now I saw on the list, that 2 free games came later 80% OFF, keeping fingers crossed for HOM&M V.
No one is keen on Jack Keane :P
Yeah throw up some overpriced stinker now and again to give us a break. Thanks

Novotnus: The counter is broken, or nobody wants Jack Keane 2? :)
Don't be cynical, it could be both!
I think the many people who posted here that they got 2W2 kinda debunks the whole bot conspiracy theory.

Killer7: 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.
avatar
Alexrd: 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?
And although not perfect, I bought Omerta on Steam before.
Besides it's bugs, it's still enjoyable (more than some games with better reviews... lol)

BinaryPoet: Of course the principle behind this promo is artificial scarcity, but I do not see any unfairness or disrespect in it. Some people here argue as if they had a right to get their favourite game on discount. You still get every game here at the regular price. So, what's the problem?
You don't see how people with bots, or people with fast connections, have a massive advantage when it comes to the free games?
