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

gscotti: If I buy a game I already have but don't want to gift it right away, can I e-mail it to myself? I ask because the GOG checkout, in case you already have the game, requires you to input an e-mail address. I was wondering if it's germane to put your own e-mail addy there?
Ummm?

You don't have a burner email addy on hotmail or yahoo or gmail etc...

The one you get your grocery coupons or special offers or vaguely interesting newslist infoblurbs sent to?

Maybe create one.

/edit
(( and apparently you can send it to yourself as well if those who posted above are correct))

Buenro-games: Yes. The code that is sent is usable by anyone.
Thank you, too.

HypersomniacLive: Yes, you can email the gift code to yourself - it will be added to your gifts tab in your account and you can then give it to someone else via email or directly through PM.
And thank you, too!

Fictionvision: I think if GOG does this promo again they won't have a round 3.
avatar
stan423321: Quite the contrary, I'd expect them to make more smaller rounds.
10 rounds of Jack Keane 2, Eador, Omerta, Thunderscape and Roller Coaster Tycoon 3.

They can call it The Neverending Sale.

Yes you can since I've done it that way before. :)

nijuu: Dont Starve 1200 @ 4.99
This was the first post 2 hours ago when the game was offered. Now down to last 1/3 of the 1200 games. Likely one more hour or so to wait...

I just want one game, I've seen games come and go, I've seen several games repeat. I know my game is left repeat
but my morale is seriously dropping due too the lack of sleep. Who designed the human body too require sleep! serious design flaw.

Could they not have just put a timer on these sales? If the timer runs out, skip to the next sale? This is ridiculous.

Yeah.Although i figure the last third is usually the longest with slow sellers.

Actually there is 2 parts to the last third, one it gets to like 100 or so, it starts to pick up really fast as the last games are the holdovers.

Excellent, thanks.

Strange that GOG doesn't give an option to "Use/gift it later".

I agree. Allow an hour or two max and then next sale.
