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

Statgat: To give a little perspective on the selling rates of games on different rounds, attached is a comparison of selling rate of Baldur's Gate 2 (round 2) to the present Spellforce Platinum (round 3).

KMJX: I still think no one can beat NWN2's third round with 2100 copies in 7 minutes
That was pretty epic. Proud to say I was around for that.
What games are left then?

KMJX: One of the biggest flaws of the franchise, is actually that focusing on the RTS side of it would make many missions way longer (and harder) than necessary.
For most maps it's easier to play it as an action RPG by just exploring with your hero party xD

MGShogun: Yeah, that makes sense, hence a lot of mixed reviews.
Though I guess on the plus side for RTS fans, if you enjoy a challenge, you can definitely get one in this title. You just have to ask for it ^^'. If you don't go for rushdown, and focus on buildup, you're gonna have some really difficult scenarios

GabiMoro: That graphic is wrong, Spellforce is on sell from less than 1 hour, I think, no way for more than 2 hours (160 minutes).
More than 3 hours i think

mantarrochen: But it is always nice to bring some clerics with you. And while we are at it archers are nice, too. And spellcasters. And some extra cannonfodder-tanks. Aaaww screw it, I will RTS the hell out of this map then. :D
Yes you can play some games without activating the monuments and making up an army. But suprisingly not allot. I always loved the mission design in Spellforce and its in the most cases the best to just play the game "normally". It's can be hard at the end but the learning curve is great and at the end you can really master all 6 Races.

*cough* Elfes are OP with ther Archers *cough*

I'm pretty sure a FREEBIE is due right after psychonauts, according to the pattern.

peanutsticks: I bought my last and final game like 12hrs ago with zero intention of buying anything else...yet here I be. This sale has become a personal crusade and I'm determined to see it to the bitter end.

I...must... cross... that finish line.

MisterBlack: I'm in the same situation, I bought The Witcher 2 roughly 12 hours ago and that was it for me. I probably bought too many games during this sale, but I still paid less than what 1 new AAA title would cost me.

I'm off from work today (I work nights so I'm on a backwards schedule) so I will absolutely get to see the end of this sale. Barring the unforeseen at the end of the sale, I am done buying stuff.... For now ;-).
I did the same thing as you, but thinking about it for a sec, I'd have to say I've purchased multiple "AAA" games from GOG this time around. If Baldur's Gate 1 & 2, Planescape and Icewind Dale don't qualify? Then the whole letter thing needs a revamp. Call these titles S-grade, since they beat the dog crap out of so many "AAA" titles I've seen the last few years.
anyone have a spare reus to trade.
At least Thief II will be on sale in xmas most prob. ;DDD

Thief 2 with -100 copies lol
As a matter of fact, since this will probably be my last chance to do this and I quite like it...


BRING FORTH THE LIST!


Game yet to come:

Psychonauts
