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

gscotti: Nope, here's another one who doesn't, never has, and never will use Steam.

CalicoPup: I mostly just used them for the free games. Portal and one or two others.

Same as I did for this site, but because this site isn't full of buttheads at the helm and they let you download and forget it, not have to use THEIR SOFTWARE as a launcher, I'm much happier and spendier here.
You're being unfair to Steam. It's true that when they started the amount of restriction was abysmal, but now the pros far outwheigh the cons. The service has enough benefits for gamers to ignore the fact that we need to use the client. Plus, compare them to every other non-GOG digital download service, and you'll realize they are one of the very few who actually care abouy gamers.

drumsfellow: So... what are you fine people listening to while waiting?
I am currently on Herbie Hancock, getting my groove on.
Repeated clicks, growling bears and myself crying over the 40eth missed freebie.

Chevette: I've spent way too much money this sale, but I sure have got a lot of bang for my buck.
Agreed. I was just curious at the beginning of the sale, and now, 15 games in, I'm planted in front of my screen ignoring all the work I should be doing with deadlines looming.
Did anybody here buy Rogue Legacy during the sale, played it... and was disappointed by it? The game itself might be fine... but the controls! Oh, the horror! If you lack a controller you may only use keyboard (as opposed to keyboard & mouse) and in case you want to rebind keys you may only use letters. This of course ruins the experience in a game about being precise. A pity.
