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

Not quite. :)

Pabluzcu: But just wanted to point out that even at its normal price of 9 bucks, the game makes it up for every cent you may spend on it, even if it is not as insanely cheap as it was today.
Does it still hold up? I don't mean compared to today's stealth games because they're a different (some might argue worse) breed, but does it suffer at all from age, besides graphics?

M1Labbe: 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?
avatar
SpiderFighter: Yep, that's the way the franchise bonus works; even if you have all but one game left to buy, you'll still get the bonus. Nice, huh? :)
Yupp, that's great. Repeating it for everyone who has missed Thief 2.

Here's my damage report:

1. Theme Hospital
2. Nexus: The Jupiter Incident
4. Neverwinter Nights 2: Complete
5. Neverwinter Nights
6. Rayman Origins (planned)
7. Hotline Miami
8. Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena
9. Wing Commander 4
10. The Witcher 2
11. Thief
12. Thief 3
13. Sword of the Stars: The Pit

Everything was "planned", though for some of them the plan was created mere seconds before buying ;)

Yarilo: :o
Nice 35k... xD
It appears 2 people found the clue, but one is to tired to get it.
That's what you get for not sleeping for 95 hours straight
Are everyone aware of the games that are free (as in freeware) on GoG?
If not then get Beneath A Steel Sky for crying out loud=).

Barbaric digital sale known to the mankind.

I wonder if Steam would replicate this sale? Highly doubtful. The kids on Steam lacks stamina and patience like us. :P
