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

Wow, if usual sales go only 1/8 as fast... you can see that some people are making big big bucks.
400 people are now sad

Giltonnam: I've given up on this sale now :/ by the time I click buy and it loads the deal is over (and har har about the freebies, they stopped popping up on my screen altogether, damn bots).

jhkrischel: Yeah, I've had the same result - at this point, the 5 seconds it takes me to put in my payment info is apparently too long. They should've worked out some sort of queuing system so that once you click, you've got a reservation for that deal, that only gets revoked if you don't finish the payment screen in say, 5 minutes.
That's how it works. I had plenty of time to move my laptop upstairs, get my credit card and type in my information for Jade Empire.

dedoporno: I paid for it and I didn't get it. Got the bear instead. Nice going GOG, this is getting frustrating. I don't give a damn about the freebies, but when I pay for the game I expect to have it in my library afterwards.
I'm pretty sure though that the game is in your game library and that GOG sent you the confirmation email.

mrking58: Cpntact support they will help you

dedoporno: For the last hour I've gotten more and more frustrated about getting the bear constantly...
That's a nice little euphemism you've got there.
baldurs gate should sell fast, even though most people and there dog should own a copy by now
So, we're at game 100?
high rated
I liked this sale but it has caused great suffering: people bought Omerta and Lucius...

Yeah, this promo is brilliant business wise.

Frostyfirefly: So, we're at game 100?
past that now
Also, apart from freebies fiasco, I'd like to point out that I personally dislike the idea of competing with other GoG members for a sale. It's too much like a Soviet store, only without a queue (so it's even worse). It makes people envy or hate each other, it's not good for maintaining a healthy friendly community.
If your payment went through you now own the game. Refresh at the bear page and it will acknowledge. If that fails use the account refresh. If that fails contact support after the sale is over. If money changed hands, the game is yours.
Wow... I got a GOGBear even with a non-free game! lol
It really annoys me, looks more like countdown than people actually buying the games....
Going by how the rest of the sale went, GOG should have put up like 5 copies of Omerta for free then when it was time to go on sale it would have cleared out in a minute.
