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

Shendue: LOL. I went to take a 30-minutes nap during the Don't Starve sale thinking it would have lasted more then an hour but i overslept. I woke up more then 3 hours later and the game was STILL on sale. Talk about Jack Keane. I think they really were optimistic about the numbers this time.
True, but Keane was only trying to sell 100 copies, while Don't Starve sold 1200. :)
I hope free Geneforge comes up soon.

WillOfD: I think Don't Starve just defeated Keane's record. :(
You, sir, clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

Overall, Don't Starve sold almost 30 times faster than Jack Keane - and that is averaged over the _WHOLE_ round. And Don't Starve's first 400-500 copies actually sold at a really good clip. Then the market was fairly saturated, hence another two and a half hours for the rest...

Jack Keane's First round was for 100 copies (not 1200) and lasted FIVE HOURS!!! not merely 3 and a bit...

patrickjarvi: Seeing other games at 80% off it's hard to pull the trigger on Don't Starve when it's only 66% off. Makes me want to wait until it shows up in a Humble Bundle or have a better discount.
avatar
Deva: That is part of the problem for some, I think... the bundles really spoil people. The current Humble Bundle gives you a lot of top games for less than $5. (If you only pay the minimum....) Although they're only for Steam.... but still.
Not only steam keys, they have drm free for some games as well. Got Psychonauts and Brutal Legend from Humble store today drm free including steam keys.

FoxySage: Damn it. Missed that one yesterday. :|

Beelzebubb: Lol you missed the Eador sale? HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?!
avatar

Omerta
Strike Suit Zero
Retro City Rampage
Cognition (people forget this is for all four games)

But they all sold. It took a while but they were all bought up eventually.
Same with Jack Keane 2, took 5 hours but every copy was eventually sold.

PincushionMan: Is it too late for Rogue Legacy?
yes.
avatar
jpwiseguy: This doesn't SEEM like another Keane....perhaps it is safe to stay awhile?
It doesn't seem to exactly be keaning, but it will sure take its time.
avatar
PincushionMan: Is it too late for Rogue Legacy?
Sadly it has come and gone.

bew1977: Why stop at 1?
avatar
groze: I already bought 2 Book of Unwritten Tales, 1 AquaNox 2, 1 Anodyne and 2 Thunderscape 'for the team', I'm only getting a single copy of Shadowman, sorry.
Just know that your actions do not go unappreciated.

Uzur9: I really need to watch Game of Thrones. is it on Netflix?
Nope. HBO doesn't license their stuff to Netflix, unfortunately. :(
Shadow Man is moving at a much brisker pace than yesterday, excellent. I almost bought it yesterday. The game itself seems pretty average from the trailers I saw, but the soundtrack seems almost interesting.
avatar
Nesoo: Did I see that right... there were 1200 copies of Don't Starve?? Dare I ask how long this one has been going?
avatar
nijuu: Not as long as JK2 - that set the record.. Eador came close...
Oh, that's not too bad then.
I hope Omertà and JK2 come up before Shelter; I need to go to bed!
