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

Shendue: EDIT: Sorry, i was thinking about Shadowrun. Is shadowgate the NES game?
avatar
FreDDaN: Ah ok, yes it is the remake of Shadowgate on the NES
Never played it, but i saw some screenshots and it looks pretty interesting. Would definetely buy it if they remake it for pc.

CalicoPup: Seems like I might be the only person around here that doesn't use Steam.

I've had huge problems with them in the past, requiring me to log in to play games I own and downloaded from them.
Yeah, offline mode does not always work. You need to fiddle with the settings most of the time (disable automatic updating, enable offline mode), if you frequently find yourself without an internet connection.

Ydrisselle: It's a good game. It's the spiritual successor of the Imperium Galactica games, if you know them.

jackster79: Not sure I would go that far. Those games were more empire-building, while Nexus is more like Homeworld. Even so, I think Nexus was developed or published by the those who did the IG games.
Nexus should be IG3, but the devs didn't have the IP any more...
Did I miss Alpha Centauri last chance sale or it didn't come yet?

Nope but you did miss Jack Keane 2
If the next game isn't somethign I want or moves faster I'll start enjoying one of my shiny new games and come back later.
This sale has really come to a crawl.

Back when I tried to use Steam, I was an OTR trucker. Internet connection wasn't a problem, I just had to pay through the nose to get it, or I was limited on the amount of data I could use on my Air Card/month. When Steam has you downloading your daily limit every time you try to play a game, it becomes not worth it.

So I'm happier here now. Also, I'm not OTR any more.

So far Evoland is moving faster than expected.

cool thanks. hopefully it will show up soon :)
This 3rd round is a true marathon.But as said before it is win/win for both sides.GOG gets x amount of games sold(already knowing before the promo ends how much money they will make) and we get some cool deals and free games.I just hope there will be something special at the end of the promo, that would be cool!Best promo so far imo and it certainly has also activated the GOG community.It's all good.

CorranHorn: Yes, another game I probably will buy when it´s released and if I can afford it=).
Then go greenlight on steam so we can play it :D

Yeah, but still pretty darn slow compared on how the average game moved the last two rounds.
