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

TheEnigmaticT: Whew!

We'll post some facts here in this thread and on social media as well in a bit, but I wanted to say thanks for staying up with us in our Insomnia Sale. Get some sleep, y'all. :)
Sleep? At a moment like this?!

fronzelneekburm: This is the way the sale ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

(Unless of course, you count massive forum breakage as a bang.)
I was hovering over the 'Buy' button after Psychonauts went down to 1 left then I got the 'Promo Over' message.
I think I actually felt relieved as I can now get some sleep!

What a ride! Thanks GOG, I didn't manage to pick up any freebies but I did get some great games at very nice prices.
I don't understand. How is one supposed to go to sleep now without a slowly shrinking bar or a number imperceptibly counting down to lull one into a state of security?

Guess I arrived only a few minutes after the ending, glad I grab the few games I bought in the first round...
That was anticlimactic...but expected.

The constant forum errors at the end...was not expected.
Guys and Gals, it's been a blast.

It's been fantastic to participate in the community properly for the first time.
To those of you that did give-aways, my thanks to all of you for your kindness.

Have a great day all!

OK, for those who ere participating in my NWN:Diamond giveaway, I'm so sorry, here's why you haven't heard from me for a while:
Our ISP fucked up and my net was out until a few moments ago, so I never managed to share the last bit of information
Well, someone managed to collect all the clues, and just "bruteforced" the last character.
My last 2 or 3 posts came through just as the entire network was collapsing.

Not exactly what I had in mind, but hey... congratulations WillOfD to your brand spanking new copy of Neverwinter Nights: Diamond Edition

Well that was anticlimactic..
Well, what did you expect? A free Jack Keane 2 copy for everyone? When a promo ends, that's it.

Thanks to everyone for the good times. What potentially could have been a keaning nightmare was, in fact, a lot of fun.
Came for the games, stayed for the awesome people. Have a good rest.
Anybody miss out on Psychonauts? ;)


Thanks GOG, and fellow Insomkeane-iacs for a wonderful week of sleeplessness and comradery. See you at Christmas! And perhaps before, after some more sleep and playing with my new toys...

Your voice needs to be prerecorded for the countdown progress the next time you all do this sort of sale!
I have to buy coffee today *
