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

Deva: Yep, $2,244 gross. ($3.74 x 600) If RCR could make that every day, they'd be earning over $800,000 per year. But who knows, maybe at the regular price they're doing that or even better.
avatar
gscotti: Seriously, it's more likely that at the regular price RCR is doing nil, these days.
Yep, you're probably right..... too many sales and bundle deals... people are getting spoiled with all the really deep-discounted sales going on these days. :)

Beelzebubb: wow I just woke up- about 7 hours of sleep. AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

Schemilix: RCR took about five-six hours by itself. Anvil of Dawn's dragging but not /really/ dragging. Shadow Man took a couple of hours.
RCR took EIGHT hours!

KPWNINJA: I'm surprised Shadow Man struggled to shift units. Great game in my opinion! :)

Schemilix: I bought a copy... but in the last round. I think only so many people want it, or don't have it.
Yeah I guess most people either have it already (GOG/Steam) or still own the old N64/PS/DC/PC disc.

Problem is that by now almost everyone that wanted a game, except for the very popular ones, already bought a copy. Therefore everything that's in the hundreds of copies will be painfully slow.

EX-Deimon: Exactly. Hence my term the only "good kind of DRM" i can possibly think of.
avatar
Shendue: I see your reasoning, but i stand my point. My problem with DRM is that it's substantially misleading people into thinking they are buying games, when they are, more or less, renting them. And the more popular it gets, the thinner customer's rights become. One should be allowed to own something if he buys it.
Even if someone makes a copy of a DRM free game and gives it to someone else, that someone else would most likely be someone that wouldn't buy it in first place. He would either pirate the game or not play it at all. So there's just a minimal loss on developers. And this concept comes from someone who buys everything, for what is worth. Even some developers themselves have spoken in favour of this concept, so it's not like it's that odd of an idea.
That's a very USA opinion of the right of the consumer to enjoy the product overcomes the right of the producer to benefit from said product. All's said and done it's a business agreement. I think there should be more transparent marketing about what kind of DRM is there. Back in the days of serial keys for so many computers at once it was reasonable. Now needing to be online is just getting a little silly.

These sales are incredibly cheap but I see GOG games pirated allll the time. I don't pirate games because of the amount of work that goes into them and my enormous backlog. But I'm vegetarian so I probably experience moral guilt more quickly than other people, ha.

But no I do think DRM is reasonable. Protecting your assets can be done without screwing other people over.
Hell actually, Steam is DRM-y. Never had a single problem with it since you can play in Offline mode. -shrugs-

The last round for Shadow Man was much faster than the 2nd one, actually. That surprised me. They were moving more than twice as many games per minute than before.

Bloody hell. This sale could go till sunday-monday if we're not careful. All depends when Omerta will be on sale and for how many quantities.

Buenro-games: Even though it's so cheap it might take a little bit. Might as well go and take a big Keane while I wait. Hope the toilet doesn't get clogged.
Is jack keane really that bad?

gscotti: EIGHT hours!

SpiderFighter: SM didn't take 8 hours; RCR did.
Which is what I was referring to, RCR took eight hours to move over.

EDIT: my original post was ambiguous, so I corrected it.

If it's another 1200, we might as well pack it in and come back next Friday. :P
