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

itchy01ca01: Checking out MOO2 in the interim. I can see why it is so addictive. The graphics aren't as good as Civ2 or Sins but it certainly is interesting. I think Ascendancy was a pretty good MOO2 clone though.
avatar
CorranHorn: Ascendancy came out before MOO 2, I liked Ascendancy reminded me a little of Supremacy/Overlord.
Whoops. Forgot the one came before the other lol

CarrionCrow: Right now, I actually feel bad for the people who make Jack Keane. I've never played it, can't say whether it's good, bad, bland or awesome. The only thing it got out of this sale ultimately was a boatload of people cursing it like a digital plague because of the sales delay.
Indeed, this promo ended up hurting the Jack Keane brand.

I have no idea how GOG and the Jack Keane 2 publisher will square things after this, but I guarantee, some unpleasant discussions will be had.

Chevette: I can't believe Don't Starve isn't being snapped up like a long lost child. It's an excellent game!
avatar
Devoidless: Well, there was 1,200 copies up for grabs. We're not doing too bad when you consider that...I guess. >_<
1200 copies of Deus Ex went in less than minutes.... of course... that's Deus Ex. ;)

Also, this is the third time through so I guess many people already bought their copy and are busy not starving already.
Or, more likely given the game, they ARE starving.

I'm having a bad day as it is, I lost the last single friend I had over him being angry all the time and "needing time to refocus and see why he's mad." I think I understand his fusteration as I've been sitting here hoping to catch a few more good deals and skipping what I wanted to get them and NO ONE WILL BUY DONT STARVE ZOMG. Kidding, not THAT mad, but I feel better now that I got it out :P

wanderlust76: damnit this is as bad as Divine Commander Keane this morning I was hopin to score Thief Gold I never played it back in the day
If you like then get this one http://www.thedarkmod.com/main/, it´s free, looks really good.
Little known fact: the sale's page has a built-in self-test for dangerous levels of sleep deprivation. As soon as you start reading "Free Fall Insomnia Sale" in the title, it's time to go to bed.

BTW, yes, it's time for me to go to bed.

Five quid for it is a steal.
That's it I'm off to bed. I was going to stay up and try and get a couple more games, but it's nearly 4am here and I'm losing the will to live waiting for Don't Starve to finish.
What REALLY impressed me was NWN2's third round run. 2,100 copies, 5-7 minutes to clear out.

It is! I bought another copy so I don't have to play it on Steam anytime I want to not starve.
CorranHorn, I assume you've also played T2X: Shadows of the Metal Age?

Well, it sold eight copies in a three minute spread. At that rate, it's another fifty-four minutes til it's gone.
Hooray.

Any publicity is good publicity? I mean, the 25 copies that were in round 3 went pretty fast. And the fake reviews on GoG make it look pretty good, so it's a pretty mixed bag going forward. (Although yes, for the people who sat around for over four hours, that brand is tarnished forever in their minds)
