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

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.

jpwiseguy: Just know that your actions do not go unappreciated.
+1 Groze ...thanks everyone who took one for the team (i bought a Sniper Elite i ended up giving away lol)

groze: To all the people complaining about the Don't Starve drought and comparing it to the Keanegate: yes, it's taking a whole goddamn time, but it's almost over, and keep in mind these were 1200 copies, while Jack Keane 2 held itself for nearly FIVE HOURS with "just" 100.

Also, it's not GOG's fault if people kept complaining in the forums that they didn't get Don't Starve. Now there should be no more complains about it, it has been on for about three hours, everyone that craved Don't Starve had more than enough time to grab a copy (though as soon as we move on to another game one or two people will pop up just to ask if Don't Starve is still up for grabs).

RandomJC: This.
This is exactly what I said 15 minutes before. I only wish I'd slept during Jack Keane round 1. I only wish I'd known that there were three rounds for every game. Hehehe... *sigh*

nijuu: Thanks guys

Looks like the possible slow burners left

Omerta
Strike Suit Zero
Retro City Rampage
Cognition (people forget this is for all four games)
Wargame
LSL (please dont put up 1000 copies again)
I'm surprised Retro City Rampage is a slow burner...

I think Strike Suit Zero already went by didn't it? Or am I thinking of something else?

wackyanne: Jack Keane's First round was for 100 copies (not 1200) and lasted FIVE HOURS!!! not merely 3 and a bit...
I was there, it was horrible!!

jpwiseguy: This doesn't SEEM like another Keane....perhaps it is safe to stay awhile?
avatar
Frostyfirefly: It's just moderately Keaning.
Is 'Kean' now this forums new official term of measurement for a overly long period of time a game has been on sale?

Examples: "I can't believe don't starve was almost a whole Keane." And. " I sure hope Omerta isn't next. That'll surely be at least a Keane and a half."

Chaser98: 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.
Nope. The graphics haven't aged well, but SM is a 5-star game all the way. Owned it on PSX, then bought it again for N64 and now PC.

Is it any good?
Nah, that is not keaning. If you perceive movement that is not keaning. Watching the grass grow, that was keaning.

Ydrisselle: It seems almost unbelievable... since it sold slowly :)

Thats what she said.

Think someone said that Retro City has already been available even cheaper elsewhere.

There, there. *pat pat* It's over now.

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.
avatar
SpiderFighter: True, but Keane was only trying to sell 100 copies, while Don't Starve sold 1200. :)
Yeah, that's way i wrote they were optimistic. There were actually a lot of people looking for the game, it's just that they were in the hundreds, not more. Once everybody got his copy it substantially stopped selling.
