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

nijuu: Bigger the better as uno u can and will buy more games from here in the future.... i had 50 games up til 6 months ago...i have over a 100 on GOG alone now :/

SpiderFighter: I used to back them up, but then it became a pain to try and keep up with the patches and updates as new OSes were introduced. There's really no need to back them up; GOG keeps all your games, including ones they've removed from the site (they even patch games they no longer sell).
And if they go our of business? They seems to be a healthy company but I've seen lots of seemingly successful company close suddenly. That's the major reason why I don't like DRM, if the business close than you can't play your game or music or movie...

Russonc: Darn it, I just don't have any more in me....Must sleep. I guess I will get Expeditions Conqustidors at Humble Weekly and just add Jade Empires to my wish list for a later sale...(unless this is still going on in the morning.

Good Luck to all who are waiting for something specific, I hope you are successful!!
EC at Humble is steam only (unless things have changed)

Schemilix: And each time someone points out that GOG has no reason to do that because they sell anyway and that's nonsense.
avatar
nijuu: It could also be argued that the time taken for one game sold to clear ie RCR 7 hour marathon, also means potential buyers of other games might just not wait or come back (and go away with negative thoughts about how sale is handled)
Or maybe sleep. :)

I'll be honest, I don't think I am the only one here who is grateful for some of the slow burners that allowed to take a break. I only wish that by now they would really speed it up, since it's getting really really long.
Please NWN come, I have 2 days waiting for you

RandomJC: So the question now is, why am I still around now that I've gotten everything I wanted?

kecskeszarv: Masochism and community?
Well, I do force everyone here have to deal with me, so maybe it's some sado-masochistic glee I get from this.

howardc007: It was a great movie! Many quotable lines.

Briareos262: I agree, there are a few good movies like that. I can't think of them right now because of this wonderful sale going on that has disrupted my sleeping pattern for the past few days ^_^
Airplane's got its share of great quotations. Another classic 80's comedy.

Leon's getting laaaaaaaarger.

Melhelix: Wow, they really saved a lot of awesome games for the end. NWN, IHNMAIMS, HoMM 3, Brütal Legend, Jade Empire, King of Dragon Pass, Thief 1, 2, 3, Tomb Raider 1+2+3, Witcher 2, etc, etc. Should be fun times for the end.
Indeed. The only factor is in how long it takes for the rest to sell up to that point. ^^

CarrionCrow: Can't forget Fez. That one took several hours to finally piss off.

Schemilix: I laugh because Phil Fish is a genuine grade-A arsehole.
A little ditty in memory of that master of douchery, <span class="bold">Phillippe Poisson</span>.

BHTrellis: Boredom? Loneliness? The need for inhuman companionship?

Or maybe you stay for the abuse? Oh, wait... That's me.
avatar
RandomJC: Likely. Possibly. And that's why I have a cat.
And with a cat you get all that WITH the abuse. I need a cat, but my income doesn't allow it for the extra rent.
Curses! I missed Lords of Midnight for the last time. grrrrrr

The best kind of glee ;)
