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

foorti: riddick is very good i like it

Leon_Belmont: Since it was pulled from Steam, I had to buy it on GOG, I really wanted to play it! :D
You wouldn't have wanted it on Steam anyhow. The extra DRM (other than Steam) that it had there was pretty bad.
Thief 4 looks like it'll be an awesomely fun game. I've certainly been thinking of playing the others because of it... If I could pick only one of them, which would you guys say is the "best" one?

elenitza: Do you all guys just constantly refresh the page to get to the new answers, or is there a way to do it automatically? *noobface*
I refresh..... because That's What Jesus Would Do.

Shendue: 900 Copies??? Seriously?
Come on, Hotline Miami is an AMAZING game, but it's been on discount sales everywhere, even in a Indie Bundle, and this is 3rd round, so the potential audience is already saturated.
At this point of the sale, every game that isn't a very popular classic is potentially a Jack Keane.
avatar
Russonc: Jack Keane is a good game everyone....it is just getting beat up on a little.... :)
By "is potentially a Jack Keane" i didn't mean "a JACK KEANE (TM)", but a slow seller in this very promo sale. I thought it was obvious, since everybody has been using the title as a proxy for "slow seller" in the last 2 days.

New answers, you mean new forum posts? Yup, I'm here refreshing constantly. It's more fun that watching game sale numbers tick down. :)

Ungunbu: hey, how is this one going? slow or fast?
avatar
nijuu: almost a third done in... what 15-20minutes?
ok tnx --- hoped a little faster
avatar
nijuu: I had one look and thought WTF :D
avatar
Ghorpm: Yeah that happens. But believe me - it's a very good game and after some time everything makes sense. It's good that new features are unlocked when you progress - it would be overwhelming to have everything at the beginning. Later on you get used to it so you can play with symbiosis, bigger aspects etc. and make your people thrive. And sometimes smash them to pieces, boy they can be ungrateful little bastards... :P
I picked Reus up on a lark during this sale and it's almost all I've played since then.

It's really fun, and not too easy.

astraldemon: Looks like GOG thinks about us again, they have put one more offer where we can get some sleep :D
avatar
gscotti: Less than 2 hours of sleep is going to do not much good for me.
Well you must know that game sells faster in the beginning when there are some people who are actually interested in it... sale rate is already droping

Ungunbu: hey, how is this one going? slow or fast?

It has slowed down though, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours to go :(
Sigh, why wont the counter move faster?

yes you have to refresh manually
Whilst the Steam versions of this sale seems less stressful it's the stress / waiting here that is part of the fun and a has resulted in an amazing forum.
Personally, I would rather have it this way than the Steam version.

The initial rate is not at all representative of the one to which it stabilizes - and that one is 6.5/min. We're fuxored.

FreDDaN: Sigh, why wont the counter move faster?

This tends to happen, but this game have been on a number of sales, this is its third round and is very likely that will reach a level of saturation soon. Don't Straves last chance had 1200 copies, half of which went in about an hour. After that there were several hours of dragging.
