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

Knofbath: We need to sell the unbelievers on the benefits of being a despot. The joys of listening to Betty Boom complain for hours on end about all the improvements we've made to her poor little life.
Can't afford to be a despot when all I want is to be a drunken master!

foxworks: Isn't GOG liquidating all their licenses with this sale? So in effect these games will no longer be offered post sale?
No, they will still sale their games, but at normal price. In the future promos the games will be again discounted but probably not that much (80% it's very rarely seen on GOG).

Cardian: I'm bored. So, I'm handing out System Shock 2 (GoG). But I have conditions.

You have to be a true follower of The Keaning, so you need to have participated a bit in this thread before. I also want a little Haiku about The Keaning (that's a poem, doesn't need to rhyme, syllables are 5-7-5). Ok, go!

P.S.: No PMs, they have to be posted here. You'll have 5 pages of time.

Khalaq: No System Shock 2
For some who felt Keane despair.
Will I console one?
Really good. But does that mean you want the key to gift it to someone else?

Normal sale price is in the 60% discount range. A $6 game goes for $2.50, this sale is unusually deep since we're getting the same games for $1.50. Hence the limited quantity bit, though I think that's a bit of marketing fluff myself.

Affirmative. I know for a fact that several people have bemoaned missing the System Shock 2 sale, so that is where I would redirect it.

I was around for that in the 3rd round of system shock 2. They had tons and the little bar line went by fast, probably sold out in like less than 5 min or something.

Although I missed Theme Hospital on all three rounds somehow, I still bought it, even if it was the whole whopping $5.99. Great game, played it at a friend's place a long time ago, still remember the good times.

Morning all!

Good 6 hours of sleep behind me, kid taken to school, and I'm back staring at the frontpage bar shrinking at the speed of an elderly snail...

Well, at least Jade Empire is still forthcoming, so I can waste another day waiting for it. Could someone please remind me to get my kid from school in 2.5 hours?

Ok, judging from past experiences I thought that 5 pages would go by much quicker during a Keaning. And I realized now, that we probably all have different settings.... -_-' So, I'll just wait for 5 more minutes and then choose a winner.

You wouldn't be the first to do something like that... and at that price, no one could blame you, not that blame would be relevant. :)

I got tired of bouncing back and forth trying to follow the thread, so I maxed my view out to 50/page.
