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

Flam3crow: How come the bar goes up sometimes?

Craig234: Sees a pretty girl?
Hmm, that time already ;-)
I feel like this is going to consume my evening, just staring and waiting for the next game. Definitely the most engaging sale GOG's had in my memory. It's like midnight-release after midnight-release after midnight-release :P Gotta snatch the good ones up.

ELFswe: Have never played NWN2 and I didn't think it was this popular.
It's a huge cult title.
Meh. I give up.

I keep on getting transaction errors, and this has never happened before outside of this 'sale'. Same account, same cc that I have been using for years. Of course my cc was charged for Riddick even though the transaction never finished - and GoG has yet to respond to my support request.

I don't get it.

mindstreamer: I wish they made the freebies giveaway a little more random and less latency based, e.g. for a few minutes you can submit a click if you want the game, then some randomizer script picks some winners from those.

mkell_226: That's a good idea.
An excellent idea actually! Would be much less frustrating than the current 404-fest.

Briareos262: Are they running repeats on games. The only one im interested in getting is Don't Starve. Sadly I keep missing the sale for that game =/
avatar
undeadcow: They are just repeating, no telling if everything will cycle back through or not... I'm also looking for Don't Starve.
Thanks for the reply. It gives some hope then =)
I know the SLOWEST sale one, would be The Witcher 1 EE :D @ any% off :D.
Since nearly everyone should have it by now.

ryanyth: If there is any reason why GOG should have an IOS / Android app, this sale proved it.
NVM misread lol

Not sure what time you mean.

Scared to ask.
We can take a dump now :DDD

xy2345: Well. Cognition seems to be a slow burner.
With all the bundles the first two episodes have been in, it's a miracle that over a hundred people are willing to drop over $10 for all 4 parts... within a few minutes of seeing the offer. Crazy stuff.

That Torchlight, Fallout and a few other games had been on freebie promos....

This.

YogSo: GOG just made $5400 with that NN2 sale, in about two minutes. Think about how much they've earned today, with all the sales combined...
avatar
mkell_226: I hope they get a good rate from PayPal, because if not, 1000 PayPal transactions costs them $350 plus 3% of the purchase price, meaning that 1000 copies of a $1.50 game will only net them $1105.
I think most people actually is paying with a credit card or alteast 50%.

Senteria: It's a huge cult title.
Just found ouit that my boxed copy of NWN 2 and Mask of the Betrayer are gone with the wind so hope that they will come out just one more time.
