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: It's kinda like lotto I think or a cheap way to get free or almost free like games super cheap.
A cheap way to get free games? Now THAT's an interesting concept ;)
Oh my god. He's real!

skeletonbow: Sounds like the loss was a gift in disguise eh? :) The cool thing is that the GOG versions of these games are pretty much all way better than owning the actual original games, at least in many ways. No more fumbling with CDs/DVDs to install, or worse - to play, with some games like the Tex Murphy ones requiring frequent disk flipping on the originals... ugh.. :) No DRM of course so none of the hassles with that nonsense (manual lookups, codewheels, Alone in the Dark cards (argh), and other nonsense), various goodies, updated to work in current Windows... Hard to beat! :) I've bought many games here that I own on floppy/CD/DVD, as well as buying games I had "copies" of from before and ditching the inferior copies for a more legit one from GOG. :) If I had it my way, all my games would come from here in the future. Just need to be patient enough for all the big publishers to wake up and smell the GOGfee. :)

Kaitu: That is exactly it. This is an AMAZING site! I am finding games that I thought were long dead. Heck, when I bought Alpha Centauri I got a free copy of Tyrian (one of the best games for random humor interlaced into the actual game). I hope the folks running this site know how awesome of a thing they have and how much us old-school gamers appreciate it. I would honestly be curious to find out how many people skipped the midnight launch for (I think) the PS4 to try to get more games here or at least monitored the sale from their phones while in line. We are the ones who thought gaming and geekiness were cool before they were both mainstreamed. We are the original gamers! :-)
What's a PS4? lol

You know, it's funny you mention the Playstation thing. I saw a deal for a PS3 bundle, then immediately thought, "I can so totally beat the amount of cash saved on that buying games on GOG instead."

Sounds the the initial run consoles are having some issues with overheating or temperature sensors. "Red line of death" is the buzzword for it. Not like any of the launch titles are impressive..

I heard there's also the blue pulsing light of death. I'll get a PS4 once there are actually good games out for it...
It has been so long ago that I don't remember exactly where I first learned about "Good Old Games" (as it was called, back then). The site was still new, and there were less than 20 games for sale, but they were some really good games. The big selling points for the games were no DRM, updated to run on today's machines, and fair price for added value. Those of us who discovered the site were pretty pumped about being able to play some of our old favorites that would no longer run on our modern PC's. The word-of-mouth spread pretty rapidly, and soon there were thousands of us visiting the site, regularly, checking for new releases.

The forum was quite active, of course. We spent a lot of time and energy helping each other out in trying to run those games we still had which GOG hadn't adapted, yet. From that sense of friendship, camaraderie, and giving, the site became a hub for old-skool gamers and retro-gaming in general. The word continued to spread about the site, and people continued to find their way here. Toward the end of beta, GOG had adapted many games, and weekly sales drew in new customers all the time. Most came here looking for a single game they couldn't find anywhere else, but the community and value which GOG offered would result in their exploration of the site and discovery of many more good things.

The care with which GOG staff took care of their customers has made them fiercely loyal, and it is not uncommon to see us throwing money at GOG or CD Projekt every chance we get. They take care of us, and we take care of them. In these times of big-publisher malaise and oppressive DRM, GOG has steadfastly maintained that their business model is not only more effective, but more profitable. Their trust in us, the gamers, inspires our support, and the results speak for themselves. Even Steam has started learning from GOG's success, offering older games and trying to make their site more user-friendly.

People talk a lot about how Kickstarter has turned crowd-funding into a revolution, one that has affected even the largest investors. GOG, however, started its own revolution, did it long before Kickstarter, and more to the point, did it with style. Sure, there have been bumps along the road (GOG shutdown, anyone?), but the experiment has largely been successful. I, for one, feel that success to be well-deserved, and I wish GOG all the best.
*yawn*
