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

Hopefully we get some fast sellers (i.e. Witcher 2 :D) after Anvil of Dawn.
Getting sick of watching the sale dieing down all the time.

SpiderFighter: It's a GOG key (but maybe it can also be used on STeam? Dunno.).

D3athR3aver, post if you missed it, and I'll PM you another key.

D3athR3aver: Thanks Spiderfighter, but if it is the first Witcher, I was lucky enough to get it. Now just waiting for the second one!
Good luck! :)

itchy01ca01: Did I miss Nexus? I passed out waiting for retro lol

MGShogun: Nope!
Hell yea. But, im going to work where I can't really get internet.. ughhhh. Figures lol

stinusmeret: I know but that requires dealing with their drm which I don't really want to cause I've never used Gamersgate :P
It IS very tempting though.
No, it's best you avoid that purchase. TAGES is one of the worst DRM mechanisms out there, and it looks like at least the first two games in the series has it from there.

ObiwanPR: I just need BG1 and I'm done with the sale.
You and 2000+ other people.

BG1 is going to sell at a rate of 1000/minute. Probably faster.
Man I had timing, at the 2nd keane sale i went too bed and I missed nothing, yesterday I went too bed on Retro City rampage and missed nothing again. I do wish I known earlier so I would have went too sleep earlier.

Dammit. :(
How is the Gamersgate experience overall? Never used them before, but a bit interested since GOG has the audacity to not have everything I'm looking for.
Single digits! :D

Actually if anyone has experience with Gamers Gate, I was interested in a title named "Flat Out 2" a racing game which on GG claims to be DRM free.

Is it really DRM free like in the sense that GOG titles are? Or am I constrained by some kind of GG downloader/spyware that I must use to get/install the game?

Appreciate any guidance or thoughts on the GG experience.

Maybe some of these Keaners in the sales are put in to pad it out and make the sale event last longer?
