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

nijuu: They probably need to find a different way to do freebies..Having fast latency so close to them is a tad unfair

lefty: Believe me, as you see, I'm from Poland and I have no advantage of the fact that I'm close to GOG servers (to be honest, we don't really know if their servers are in Poland or not).
I thought GOG took place in Cyprus.

Fictionvision: 1400 NWN2, lets see how long they last
Under 5min.

Senteria: I've actually read actual people telling they got a free game.
Hell - I've gotten 3 ;P... It is certainly possible.
Yay, Neverwinter NIghts 2. I was hoping this would be available again :)

Flam3crow: I'm still not sure if there are bots.
I'm pretty sure there aren't. I and many others managed to grab a free game, and my internet isn't that fast.

It just comes down to luck. There are thousands of people watching the front page at the moment, and there are only a few free copies.
Also I already had Neverwinter Nights 2 for awhile.

its moving already
It's horrible seeing so many games come and go when you're only after 1 that you know is in it. Especially as it gets later and later lol.
NWN 2 1400 copies will go in seconds ..... WOW!! How many gamers are out there right now? 100 000?

Do what I did, buy a gift copy to say 'just in case' for someone.
NWN2 is going fast, very fast

That's a safe bet.
Same here with the latency thing.. It's too late before the freebie even appears on the page.
Missed Master of Magic while the banner was still morphing from the previous game.
