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: I know that posts are timestamped, but like you, I am way too lazy to find the page where RCR is first mentioned. Let's be honest here: GOG forums make it excrutiatingly hard to jump to the page you want. It's impossible to use a geometric algorithm.

Anyway, I counted the number of sold games per minute, and it's almost exactly 1 game/min right now. So, unless there is a long tail at the end, I expect RCR promo to end in 1.5 hours or less. Plenty of time to grab something to eat.

Good job. Too bad GOG forum timestamps have a 1 hour resolution :( But this confirms what I said earlier: RCR was going for more than 7 hours.
I know this wont be foreveyone but if they had just dropped Jack Keane 2 by another $2 I would have jumped at it. The first game is nice, just it was not one that made me go "I must buy the sequal"

Daz12380: Ive noticed that the usd price is the same as the Euro price. Main reason why i like gog currency conversion working at its best.
Edit: one of the main reasons
This is true, I was pissed of before with Steam because of that... I couldn't even buy some games because I am in Eu and not US ... Luckily I had US VPS at that time and it work as great work around it...

And even as I am from EU, I don't want to buy in €, since I work with US clients the most and I get $, and I really really dont like conversion rate between € and $,...

So $ pricing on GOG is really great

I'll tell you one good thing that came out of this sale. It dragged me out from the darkness of being a GOG forum lurker. I've grown very attached to this thread.

In general, I don't think it is necessarily a bad game (haven't played). It was just one of the more expensive games on the sale.

If you ask me, they should have had Jack Keane 1 at about the same price as most of the games ($1,5-5), and it would have sold a lot faster.

Of course, you can't always predict these things, and the price must probably be negotiated with the publisher, unless GoG has a very nice contract that lets them do what they please during sales, which I doubt.

Anyhow, Jack has been a source of much fun and many hours of sleep during the insomnia sales, so I personally can hardly complain! ; D

Same here....Does that mean this thread will never die, and slowly just devolve into a home for Keane memes. Where we wheel them around to get plenty of outside time, and feed them soft foods, and show them 50s TV?
