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

SpiderFighter: Wow...it feels like the end of an era. This has been one of the greatest threads / weekends yet on this site. As slow as the sale got at times, I'm going to miss the conversation in here.
Yeah, the community in this thread throughout the course of the sale has been awesome. I've seen so much good-natured conversation, and really generous people gifting games and talking civilly about all sorts of stuff. Was a pleasure chatting with you all throughout the sale.

There's nothing stopping you from continuing conversation, so please do!
Again, I have NWN1 and Planescape to trade. Looking for Theme Hospital or Startopia.

Faeja_Vu: I think it's pretty safe to say most if not all of us will. :)
One of the few memorable online experiences in my life. :DDD

All thanks to GoG for pulling such crazy stunt like this so we develop a great rapport with each other.

God, I will miss this sale once it's over.
Altough I got a great many good games out of this sale.
I must say, this thread and the people in it was the best of the whole sale for me. We should totally do this another time again.

Pabluzcu: I see a lot of people posting their sadness for not getting Thief 2.
...But if you really want to play the "Citizen Kane" of stealth games (if you follow my metaphorical equivalence in the history of cinema), you would not be paying an excesive price whatsoever at the 9.99$ Thief 2 normally has. Just saying...
I've only every played Thief 3 (not to completion... and on Xbox). Picked up the first two on disc a long time ago, never got around to playing them and now they won't run on my machine.

If I can't get Thief 2 now, I'll wait 'til the next time it crops up in a GOG sale. Bide my time like the stealth master.

...But you are tempting me. :p
Only what, 40 posts from 35k? Let's gooo

Rarehunter_idol: Thomas was sad that his long journey of buying pixely little objects was coming to an end. He felt a wave of melancholy hit his blocky little heart, and wondered where his life would go from here.

But there was one thing that Thomas reminded himself over and over again - He wasn't alone, he had spent this journey with many, many friends who will remain long after the dust settles.

And that made Thomas very, very happy.
Nice:)
Hey GOGler,

this was amazing. I believe this was very profitable for GOG, I bought 13 games (though I'm one game short). Some of them I planned from the beginning of round 3, some were impulsive buys. It even strengthened the community. I've never been around the forum before, but I've followed this thread for the last couple of days and now this is my first post.

The disappointing thing is, I managed to grap Thief 1 and 3, but I slept through Thief 2. Went to bed when The Pit was on, I even managed to wake up roughly every two hours, woke up the first time for expeditions and then later for Spellforce. Only later realized, there was something important in between.

Interestingly, GOG is offering a franchise bonus for buying all Thief games - for some reason it also offers it even though i already own part 1 and 3. This makes Thief 2 only $6.32. I'm really tempted, just to complete my library. STOP ME!!! Is the someone with an extra copy willing to gift it?

BTW. I'm relatively new to GOG, is the only way to give away a key when purchasing it as a gift?

Not gonna be hard, all we need to do is disperse the fourth snippet of the code over multiple posts ...

Ok, no, won't do that

Agreed, if it wasn't the community the sale wouldn't be what it was now. Like for a lot of people here, that's definitely in my top 3 digital sales ever (along with Steam's Holiday sale in 2011-2012 and some Amazon sales arguing about the third place).

Everyone is talking about endings. Does this mean that Psychonauts are last game on whole sale?

Yes, you are correct.
