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

mondo84: Cognition has hit a bit of a wall.

lefty: Please please GOG, gimme Fallout 2 so I could go to sleep now :/
Speaking of Fallout 2 - there's a Kickstarter campaign of After Reset that needs some money, so they can make a good Fallout1/2 like game

jorlin: This promo is fantastic to buy some great gifts for the coming holidays.
I also PM'ed a freebie I already had, but was lucky enough to snag.
Such a joy to give.
And I can't thank it enough times :)

Cognition is a little bit slow, but the bar is definitely shorter and shorter... and it's too late here. Argh!

nijuu: ANyone think the older classic games are the fastest movers?

Fictionvision: I wondered that also after seeing NWN2 and Theme Hospital fly out of there. They did have huge discounts though.

Guess this can be used as proof for people that say GOG should sell more older games.
As someone who bought Theme Hospital but already owned it, the appeal is the modern DRM-free version as much as anything else. My Win95 CD-ROM isn't going to install on new Laptops forever, $1.49 for a version which will for years and years more is a steal.

tfishell: What's the point of this list?

Elmofongo: "I'd be surprised if even one of the following games pop up as a surprised new release"
Half the games you listed aren't even sold by GoG though ... kind of unrealistic to expect them to turn up in the middle of a sale.
Erica Reed, go away!!
They say it's the "Insomnia Sale" but I'm practically in a coma.
Maybe if we all say it together and clap our hands, Cognition will move on.
This is the slowest mover in the last two hours. Beats RTC3 lol

Been a while since the last free game went up as well...

Elmofongo: I be surprised if the image of even one of the following games pops up:


Command and Conquer
For whatever bizzaro reason,EA in their "infinite wisdom" havent put the Westwood -era C&C games on GOG or Steam..despite them giving them away as free downloads a few years ago when the released that piece of shit C&C 4.
You cant even buy them on Origin.

Indeed, RTW3, you have been dethroned or derailed or what have you.
thanks for the links!

gahh
missed Shelter , Erica Reed, and Rayman Origins on the free >_<

Frostyfirefly: Erica Reed, go away!!
I bought one (mostly because I was slightly interested in it), but I can do no more. And that's it for me. I honestly want nothing else out of this crazy sale.

No it doesn't, nothing ever will.

Except maybe Jack Keane

Just looking at this Promo gives me the impression that its a perfect opportuinity to make a surprise release of a highly wanted game here on GOG, classic or oterwise.
