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

KMJX: Oh darn. I'll have to rely on whoever said they were going to get me a copy then.
Will my collection remain incomplete?
Will my extra copy of NWN Diamond rot on the shelves?
Will I get another code to give away?

Kaitu: My suggestion was to have each freebie show up for 5-10 seconds with a fixed number available. After the window, they randomly distribute to those who entered. Those who don't win get an extra "entry" in the next freebie they try for. That way, if you miss one, you have a better shot at the next one. Once you finally get one, your entries reset to one and you start over.

CharlesGrey: Also seemed unfair that some apparently got multiple freebies, while so many got none at all. Maybe next time, they should just display some links/buttons on the mainpage, a different one each day, and whoever clicks every single one gets to pick a free game at the end of the sale. That way people are encouraged to check the sale at least once per day, and at the end everyone gets a freebie, without the "luck" and frustration involved in the current freebie system.
I like this idea. I know it was some bull watching the sales not realizing that a free game came and went without it even showing up on my screen.
I blind bought Spellforce Platnium in the second round... but now I wonder if I haven't been fooled, is there something wrong with the game?

AndyDivine79: Wow!! That is like the entire GOG library. Right?

ErekoseDM: hopefully ive got the room for it.

after running out of space similarly i just got a 3tb and its my exclusive GOG drive.
Ah. I was referring to the folder size. My drive is only a tb. How much did it cost?

YaTEdiGo: Hey people we should start to popularize the term "Keaned" to say you are stuck on the internet seeing some progress bar.

WE SHOULD MEME IT!!!!!
You are late to the party. I think it was submitted to the Urban Dictionary on Friday or Saturday. Ages ago, it seems...

Dear God, you poor people! What Holy Grail are you still holding out for?

I was here more or less from early-mid round 2, but was finally released from my torment about 20 hours ago when NWN1 came up (I could have grabbed The Witcher 2, but had the strength to stick to my budget).

What's left?

I didn't even have the chance to see many freebies too.
And naturelly... I didn't get any.

Well, I don't know about your rotting NWN, but your thief collection will not remain without the second part. If you check our PM that is.

Market saturation, it's not an extremely popular title and there aren't a ton of people watching this sale anymore. It's about 2am in the US and 7am in Europe right now, so a lot of people are asleep.

Yeah. The way they handled the freebies this time around was definitely more frustrating than fun for the majority of users, I dare say. I prefer when they do some contest or challenge, so people at least can actively improve their chances of winning a game. With these freebies it was just luck, or connection speed... or whatever it was.

peanutsticks: 300 copies and its creepin'. Could be a looong wait at this pace.

How long has Spellforce been up? Could we be looking at a potential RCR contender?
I bought the game when it was up at 21:42 PST. That is about 1 hour 28 minutes ago.

I think it will probably take ard the same time to sell out.
