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

McSpain: 5000! Freebies! \o/
We'll still be here for days.

CarrionCrow: Five days in, I almost can't believe there are still twenty games left to go. Really interested in what GOG staff's thoughts on this whole experiment will be once it's finally over.
Next time they have to go with timed sales, this is day 3 of round 3, I don't think it was supposed to last this long.
Alright GOG, don't let me down. NVN please so I can go to sleep. It's almost 3 a.m.

I bet this topic is still going strong around christmas : D

GabiMoro: I wonder how Heroes 3 will sell. First round went very fast but I heard it did quite slow in the second.

peanutsticks: HOMM3 is a classic of the highest order! (and unfortunately GOG has been going crazy with the #'s on the 3rd round classics)

They'll probably drop 1200 copies and cause it to grind to a slow halt at ~300 left or something crazy.
1200 HOMM3 copies will sell in 5 minutes. Believe me.

Same here
Well at least they will have reached their goal of selling everything :P

Cardian: I really hate fiddling around with DosBox to get many old games to work properly (or at all) and that is my main reason for getting stuff on GoG. Most of the games in my inventory I still have as boxed copies.
Indeed. So far, the majority of games I've tried have worked out of the... ok, not out of the box... um... they've worked out of the bits! :) I've only had problems with a few older games, some of which were solved by right clicking on the shortcut and choosing "Run As Administrator" and a few games such as the original Alone in the Dark series required some tweaking of DOSbox using hotkeys that took me a little research to figure out. Having said that though, it was far less time consuming than it was back in the MSDOS days of editing AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS and running QEMM OPTIMIZE and configuring IRQs and DMA channels and ugh... :) GOG makes things easy even when something doesn't work right away. :)

bradelli: I wonder who actually bought Jack Keane? Has it turned out to be actually amazing?
Have you not read the reviews here on GoG? It's amazing!
Room for 22 more golden despots, you know you wanna!
anyone made a list of games they want at Xmas? (not the games on this promo)

It took 4 hours to sell 100 copies!
That's like, 10 minutes each
