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

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

astraldemon: 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...
It's a bit funny you went out of your way to reward a bullsh#t DRM scheme by giving Steam your money. When I see regional/country-based pricing differentiation implemented using DRM, I become livid. No, scrap that, I'm becoming Hulk and I smash.
Another "I got a full night's sleep while RCR was going on" post. Makes me wonder how many copies of the slower-moving games, which tend to be the more expensive ones, are sold during non-sale periods.

Elinnea: lol

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.

RandomJC: 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?
It probably will never die because Keane City or Omerta will never sell enough at this rate!

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
Awesome i have a enginglish vps i ended up buying dead space2 on gamersgatewith it as it werent available on the irish version. i had to pay a little bit more then i wanted but it was worth it as it could be played on 5 computers instead of had to be on one origin or steam account

There's only been 3 games (Don't Starve, Shadow Man, RCR) in the Past 12 Hours, so probably not ;)

Damn it. Need a second wind to kick in right about now.
Mantra for the moment - I will NOT let, of all things, motherfucking Retro City GTA 1 Flashback I'll Show You A Rampage If You Don't Piss Off break me.
Little wordy, but it works. Screw it.

You know I could make a terrible joke now, since I compared this thread to a nursing home...but I am no longer sleep deprived thanks to RCR, so I have sense, and a moral something or other.
59 copies left, that should be gone in about 10 hours 47 minutes...
