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

mkell_226: The thing about freebies is that, even though we get a server error, for one brief instant it actually works, and people actually get the game. There's no use complaining about "server crashes" when the other alternative is a "sorry, we're sold out" message.
I don't see why anyone be mad about missing a free game - it's just a fun game to see if you can get things in this sale and I guess it acts as a good stress test for their servers as well as see how many active members they have XD

qux: Anyone know which number we're up to?

senhorlampada: 82!
thanks.
This is a really good game folks
Guys, check your game libraries. I tried to get the free MOO, and it crashed on me (bear with a globe). Apparently, I received the game, but didn't notice until now.

you wish
I think the free part of this promo is kind of a flaw. So frustrating for 99,99% of the people, only a few who get a game here and there... I like the promo, but the freebies thing is not letting customers happy, I guess...

T.A.P.: I'm kind of bummed that I missed out on a free game because the servers couldn't handle the capacity. :(
You're competing with tens of thousands of people, all poised to click in the very first split second for an offer available to only a couple dozen people. It's a lottery, and depending on your connection speed and whether or not you're using a script, it may be very much not in your favor. I've seen these kind of promotions too many times before. The Sparkfun disaster most immediately comes to mind. I didn't think GOG would ever resort to anything like this. At least they seemed to acknowledge it was a bad idea before they started it, but that doesn't stop it from being a bad idea.

By participating, you only serve to validate their decision and encourage them to do this again. You also waste a lot of time and set yourself up for a bit of grief. I'm staying out of this game out of principle, and I'd suggest you do the same.

If it says invalid code does that mean it's been taken?
What are those "Serial numbers" that are under each of the games I've got from this sale for?
We're on 84/101 I think.
