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

Briareos262: I'd say the sales on this promo are slight better than the holiday sales because of the large discounts to alot of the games ^_^

On the flip side tho the holiday sales do usually have nice bundles and at least 50% off of almost entire gog catalog of games. Not sure if they will do the same this year, they did last year tho.

northern7: I'd say you are wrong...i'd be willing to bet that sales were actually much stronger - many many more impulse buys with people spending on things they had no intention to to begin with - this sale is a cash cow for them and other online distributors will imitate. It has already been mentioned by the guys at gamefly or getgames that they are interested in perhaps doing the same thing.
Love to see how getgames does - their prices have always been....ordinary...

Knofbath: I don't think they've made 50 Shades of Grey into a game yet.

Not fan of BDSM. :P
I like BDSM but not trashy, ill-conceived, shitty depictions of BDSM written by women who've barely had sex and cling to virgin mentality. Seriously that book is said to be raunchy, all I see is prudishness and idiocy dressed up to make it more titillating, excuse the pun.

Dreadful stuff. Grey's not a dom, he's an abuser, and people (usually women, I admit) lap it up. I'd not play a game that misguided either.

To be fair! That book does a horrible job at the whole BDSM thing. It's just...atrocious. It paints the entire thing in the wrong light. Someone from the outside looking in would just assume that everyone into BDSM is that way and shy away from it.

Stupid trashy novels.

Khalaq: There will probably be a sale around Thanksgiving, and the Winter Sale is coming up, soon.
*looks at registration date* Do you remember when they played that joke and said GOG was shutting down, then they dressed as monks an apologized?

GhostwriterDoF: I'm only waiting for Jade Empire after being sold on it listening to all the good praise of the game in this thread... :/

MGShogun: I wish that they wouldn't hype Jade Empire so much in this thread. Too tempting as hella.
Not hype. All truth!

Wise words. That's why I avoid that crap.

MaximumBunny: A combination of 2 great games...ULTRAHYPED!
My thought exactly.

I know quite few people in BDSM and they weren't happy with that book. It's stupid messy crap.

Thank, I am a masochist and her portrayal of the subculture is a pile of wank.

That moment when you realize we said basically the same thing. XD

I can only be disappointed now.
I think I can confidently say that thanks to this sale, I'm going to be a happy, entertained man for a looong time, experiencing games I probably never would have bought otherwise. Thank-you GOG!

But please, don't do another one for a while, I'm broken.

Plus Kung Fu. HYPE OVERKILL!
I'm surprised how steady this one is. Selling 13-15cpm. At this rate, we'll be on to the next one in just about ten minutes! :)
