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

Cardian: It's by Team ICO who later went on to make Shadow of the Colossus, another great game (yeah, I love ICO, too) and will hopefully finish development on Last Guardian by 2056....

Shendue: They are really keaning on The Last Guardian, aren't they?
Indeed, they are. But I guess, once it's finished, it will be an Anti-Keane in sales numbers. If people haven't forgotten about it by then...

Shendue: A Playstation 2 game, highly praised for its atmosphere, that i think is boring as fuck.

CorranHorn: The Empire is more alluring than the Rebel Alliance, I mean they have a bloody Stardestroyer, who can resist that=).
Many have been seduced by the Dark Side....
Sad panda.

Wing Commander: Privateer warped out.

Next up: 75 copies of Wargame: European Escalation for 6.69$.
Man,, not the droid I was looking for... I have to head out in 15 mins for the rest of the day... would someone mind snagging Jade Empire, HoMM 3, and Space Colony HD for me? I would love it very much. :)
75 copies only. Nice!
Well I hope that goes by quickly...
Been playing Sacred Gold in the meantime
Still hoping to fetch Theme Hospital on this sale...

johnnygoging: I've just learned recently that steam has drm-free titles in the sense that some titles don't enforce the drm, which is really good. and yes, drm sucks, but steam has a lot on offer besides that drm, the excellent prices not the least. I still prefer gog of course, but I think that sometimes the some of the stuff towards steam and especially humble bundle can be going too far.
I have absolutely *nothing* against Humble Bundles. Nor against Steam -- or, should I say, the people that choose to use Steam, since I do not endorse Steam myself.

Humble Bundles are great chances to get great games cheap, and that's a good thing, not a bad one, at least in my book. The problem is that more often than not the games you get from the Bundles are Steam copies, and, like I said, though I have absolutely nothing against those who use Steam, I'm not keen on their services and I openly choose not to use them. That's just me, it's my prerogative and I think I'm entitled to it.

The reasons I don't use Steam are mainly the fact that I live outside the US in a country in which Steam doesn't do currency exchange (a game may cost $3 on Steam and $4 on GOG, but the GOG copy is actually cheaper for me because I'd have to pay €3 for the Steam game and only €2-ish for the GOG one), I'm actively against DRM, even if it is "light" DRM such as the one Steam forces upon its consumers, and, most of all, I like *owning* my games, as opposed to *renting* them, and Steam games are not yours even though you pay for them. Every single game I bought here on GOG is mine to keep and do whatever I please with it.

Also, regarding that last couple of sentences, did you know the EU Court passed a law deeming *renting services to play games and not actually selling them to the customers* illegal? That's right, and there's already one impending lawsuit against Steam forming in Germany, that I know of, and several smaller cases of that happening locally, here in Portugal.
YES! NEXUS! One down, one to go!
