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

TwistedFate: I had a 20mb HD in 1987. Just to give a reference point.

siddham: My first graphics card was 1Mb...!
I felt so cool when I upgraded it to 2Mb..lol!
The computer that drive was in didn't even have 1Mb, I believe the graphics card had 32K or 64K (I think). It was a Hercules Monochrome Graphics card. The computer had 640K.

siddham: Heroes 5...

Personally I think it's a very good game.
So is Heroes 3.
What?!? They can't BOTH be!

Can they??? ;P

Elinnea: Ooh, ooh, Heroes V, it's on my wishlist. But I was waiting for... oh dear... how easily I am tempted.

mantarrochen: Here is what we do: Ill buy it if you buy it. :D
It's a deal!

BelowTheBelt: Does the cover art of HoM&M5 make anyone else think that is a rather well-endowed warrioress featured? Is it? Is it not? Who's to decide?
It might as well be a lady under that armor. It even fits with the story.
On the other hand if it were a lady I am preeeetty sure they would underline that fact more...

Bonshea: Honestly, -people are going to hate me for saying this- I wouldn't if you already own a copy. I mean, it's a fine game HMoM 5, that actually does three a fair amount of justice, but I wouldn't spend money on a game you already own unless you were intending on gifting it to a friend.
avatar
mantarrochen: Im intending to reduce my reliance on Steam, plain and simple.
I've been doing the same. If you think the price is low enough, go for it. I've bought a few doubles myself.

HoMM5 is better than wait for HoMM3 forever!!!!!!!!

Hello fresh air, hello sun, hello wife... wife why are you holding a knife and pointing it to me?
Well, at least someone got all they wanted out of the sale... C'mon GOG! Where is La Mulana and Assassin's Creed? Beyond Good and Evil is a plus but not something I will miss if I do not get it.

There was some kind of blog where an artist drew stuff "out of border" of various posters and covers. In case of HoMM5 cover, she drew this armor as an outerior of a scarecrow. And I cannot stop seeing that.

When the hell was that???
Bumping for my Giveaway, chance to win a 15$ game!

Since the sale's going slowly, I reckon I have time to ask this:
I own HOMMV on Steam, but the game keeps crashing on Win7 64. I read it's a common issue.

Is the GOG version more stable? Has it been patched recently?

Thanks in advance!

Dreadjaws: An awful, awful comparison. If anything, it's like having to show your ID when you enter the mall.

It's the kind of unintrusive DRM. You can easily play the games without being online.

Edit: Wow, what happened to the quote? It's all scrambled.

mkess: No it's not. They can take YOUR whole game catalog hostage, if you disagree wih them, or have an finacial dispute. Happened to somebody I know. They had a disagreement over the pricing of a MMO. Steam disabled all his games.

I use cracks for all games I buy from them, to negate that effect of the DRM.
I'm sorry, but I find that story very, very hard to believe. Either that person is not telling you the whole truth or you are the one making up that story. I've seen Steam make mistakes in the past, and they've always responded to their customers in kind when it happened. This just reeks of a fake story someone makes in order to mask the fact that they are the ones who screwed up. That happens all the time.

Plus, again, you don't need to use cracks, unless you're dealing with third-party DRM, which is not Steam's fault and it will be present in the game wherever you purchase it. You can use the client offline and no one will bat an eye. I think you are just looking for excuses in places that don't exist.
