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

mkess: And so the sale comes to an end ... with Rollercoaster, because they can't get their numbers right. :D
Not sure. they opened the sale during evening peak time in europe. its only afternoon in US and morning here in aus. chances are they will leave it running to at least try for US peak time...maybe
come on GoG guys rotate already.. you're losing your audience :)
I have to thank you GOG for:

Reus
Two Worlds II
Brutal Legend
Rayman Origins

I can finally go to the bed and rest, it was a crazy promo!

Thanks a lot, still two games on my wishlist of which I have missed the promo: Erica Reed and Nexus.

Zera: I already went on sale earlier with a good number of copies available.

Flam3crow: Even so, a lot of people weren't here then.
It's also kind of a niche title and, while a decent deal, not an insane discount.

So..

Not surprising that 700 more copies takes a while to go through.
Going to play a game since this is going to take a while.

Miljac: Heroes 5 where for free? Damn!

nijuu: During the first run :/
Yea, but I only got here a few minutes ago :(

now I won't be able to sleep even after the sale
wanted Carmageddon 2 as well....Smuggler V would have been nice. Still might pick up a couple of returns if I am still awake!
so...noone wants RCT3?
And now they're redoing the list, but with bigger quantities?

Games are released in batches of 30-100:
"OH MY GOD IT'S GOING TOO FAST I (and the servers) CAN'T KEEP UP." [misses current deals]

Games are released in batches of 600+:
"Wow, this thing is going really slowly. I can't sit here and wait an hour just to see four deals. I've got better things to do." [misses future deals]

It has gone from being irritating to boring.
Good idea for Black Friday.
Announce the sale ahead of time.
Never do this on a weekday!
Try to have more items on sale at once in larger quantities.
Make it so you get a free game with purchase of 2-3 games.

lucky_bastard: so...noone wants RCT3?
Most people that are following the sale have propably allready bougt it.
Well, so far I've picked up
Master of Orion 1 + 2
Spellforce Platinum
Hotline Miami (giveaway)
3 copies of Thunderscape (2 for giveaways)

Was hoping to see Memoria but seems unlikely now. Also, did I miss an actual sale on Cognition or has there only been the nanosecond freebie for it?

Miljac: Heroes 5 where for free? Damn!
Getting it was actually next to impossible... Same for all the freebies on this sale.
