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

Slychocobo: I wonder how many bots are snapping up the free games..

I just saw Theme Hospital flick in and out of existence in.. less than a second o.o
That's nothing.

For Lucius to have gone that fast....

I think that should stifle any of the "there are no bots/scripts just thousands of people clicking as fast as humanly possible" argument.. Definitely bots.
Grrr... "Rise of the Triad"?!? Damn. The only reason I'm not all up ons is my 'puter isn't quite beefy enough.

dedoporno: This is ridiculous! I have no idea how the people are able to get through the overload screen...
Simple: They get there before it actually overloads!

Yup a lot of botting is happening. I've seen the free promos just flash and vanish with no option to click anything.
Kinda sad GOG.

Ok, thanks. Many more opportunities to get a free bear :p
Oh dear, I've got a bear when refreshing this thread page... I guess gog servers are not so capable that they think they are.

Also - Bye, Half A Second Lucius, too bad I hardly have an occasion to see you...
