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: Welp, sometimes it's better not to believe and instead use the sad facts and go downtown to buy groceries or something mundane like that.

DrRoxo: I can't buy groceries, I'm saving for Jade Empire :/
I respect your profound dedication to the cause.

Hmmm... I'm going to check out Jade Empire.....

EDIT: not my type of game, but looks awesome.

Matteo: This Fall Insomnia Sale is so evil though. They should never do promo like that. So damn evil.
I think there should be a "gong" like the Gong Show.
Once a game stays around and is not selling at a noteworthy pace, we should then be able to "gong" it off-stage for another deal.
And, that same game to come back w/ a BETTER priced deal or the # of copies severely reduced.
900 copies of a game that pretty much everyone owns
Hmm, which of the Witchers is on this sale again?

Yeah 3 days worth, and Thursday is the air date for the big shows.
Well, I guess it is good to see that I didn't miss anything good while I was making dinner.

Thanks! :) I get your sentiment though, you're not wrong :)
Brace yourselves! Our advance has come to an early halt!

God have mercy!

Elinnea: 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: yes you have to refresh manually
aww, thanks everyone! I just found the forum today.
I thought there was gonna be a discussion during this sale (mostly because I was wondering if anyone actually manages to pick the free games) but hadn't thought to check under the sale announcement :P

Arthandas: No worries, it's for the better... We all know that only rapists and murderers play violent video games /troll

or the GONG should be automatically from GOG side (GONG from GOG), as soon as the game stopped selling fast enough.
