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

AttObl: Riddick for 3$
Was there a freebie? It _looked_ like there wasn't one, at my end, but I am cursed with a blackmagically bad internet connection.
This'll go by quick.

Enjoy Riddick, guys! It's one of the best games I bought here on GOG (actually you get two games for the price of one, and both are enjoyable)

D3athR3aver: If a game is given out as free, does it get removed from the list of games, or will it pop up later in the list as a regular sales deal?
It will pop up later.
Riddick! Yes, one of the three games I've been waiting on!

It returns later at a normal price.
God, isn't 600 Riddicks a bit too much?!

I haven't seen that much demand for it in the forums... mostly people praising it after they bought it.

Nope, uni internet = 5ms to GOG.com

Faenwulf: Gog, this is not Witcher 2.
I am *not* amused by this. No, no.

cyan text from devs, last night, stated (paraphrased):

If it's a 'free' game, it will not be a 'last chance'. It will come up again, if it hasn't already, this 3rd cycle.
I'd like to thank:

Don't Starve for pausing the sale while I had to run some errands

Retro City Rampage for giving me 5 hrs of sleep

For my cats to wake me up during the Anvil sale

My apologies to those that had to sit through each of those waiting for the next one to appear.

Happy Hunting everyone!

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.

cpucrust: 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.
I've bought a few things from them. mostly got steam keys but some are regular downloads. I don't know if they have any drm in the regular downloads.
At last, an awesome title.

I have Riddick already though - it is seriously good.

Only played through once - might do so again though. Replayability might not be too high with this one for some people.
