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

This sale was a ton of fun and I hope you guys run something like it again someday. Just do a post-mortem after this one because I think there are some lessons to be learned (don't let a singe game clog up the flow, find a way to make people less mad about freebies being nabbed by others)

Anyways thanks to the guys at GOG, watching numbers count down was way more entertaining than it should have been.
A miracle just happened. I went to s/eep around 4 AM. Some motherfucking idiot asshole just called at 6:20 AM. I thought "Well, since I'm awake anyway, I'll just check in on the Sale." And I just saw the last 3 copies of The Pit trickle away and then got the copy of Thief 2 I was waiting for. Which I would obviously have missed if that motherfucking idiot asshole hadn't called.

Was it worth it? Nooooo. But still a miracle :)

stevekharon: What's Left?!?

Psychonauts $2.49

and then they will give 50 freebies in a row!

Just speculating.
Amd all 50 will go to the same 35 people that got the rest, right?

Shendue: Nah, just 10000 copies of Jack Keane 2.

stylez82: For FREE! ........and it will still take days.
I got to be honest with this. When JK 2 was the freebie i tried to ninja grab a copy. Alas, I failed.
So, how many titles has anyone given away in this sale?

Deva: Was waiting for Thief 2 and fell asleep... woke up to see "60 left" on the screen... that was too close for comfort. :)

johnnygoging: Congrats! I, too, have just been waiting for this. Damned if it didn't come after a long time. It's good you did not miss it.
Thanks. And congrats to you as well. :)
Well it's been a blast. Great community.

Didn't hear about the sale until after the 1st round. Passed over a few games in the 2nd round and immediately regretted it, which resulted in being glued to the site for 4 days (or more? it's a blur) so as to rectify my mistake. Ended up with everything I wanted except for Deus Ex (waiting for the next sale) and Jade Empire (just bought it on Steam) - and a couple of impulse buys like Startopia and the Pit.
12 games 25 bucks! my kind of sale!
