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

DrRoxo: Might as well ask you guys here: if I choose "gift entire pack" option on a Deponia sale, will I be able to gift the games separately, provided I use my own email address, or will I have to give all three games together?
probably 1 code with all 3 games.

if you already have 1+2 you can use the code and absorb the 3rd game, but 1+2 will still be alive on the same code.
Alas, my last post appears to have disappeared. So instead,

Sayonnara Sale! Thanks to GOG.com and my fellow Insomkeane-iacs for a wonderful week of comradery, frustration, generosity, triumph, despair, and sleeplessness.

See you all at Christmas, and a few of you before that - after some sleep and playing with my new toys a bit, of course ;D

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. :)
Now where is that dancing bear?

One day it'll be worth millions!
You should send the code to a gaming museum so that it may be preserved!

Oh, that's a let-down. Thanks for the answer!
I went to get lunch, came back and it ended! No spectacular ending then? What a promo, it will go down in history as one of the most memorable online promos ever. Excellent work, GOG! Now to play all these games :) Might even give jack keane a chance!
high rated
Want to say that, for the most part, I've enjoyed the sale and (especially) this thread.. It was great reading (most ;)) of the messages and I enjoyed it immensely!!

Hope you all, ladies and gentlemen (and everyone in between) enjoyed it too and have a good day, or night!!!

Extra note: Sometimes I've read people calling everyone guys, or chaps, Sir (when they don't know their gender) assuming that everyone is male here. I've +1'd the people who tend to include everyone, or write ladies and gentlemen, guys and gals...

I'm really surprised there are guys out there who still assume women don't play any games, or converse on their threads.. When games started it was a family thing, everyone played them, and I know women who have been playing for decades... I know women at pension ages playing them! I also know a few women on here who don't want to admit it because they end up getting treated differently (at least that is their experience in other places). It's 50/50 basically..

Perhaps there are still more men in the industry, but as consumers it is still pretty equal, so keep that in mind.. It can be very non-inclusive, certain places can be hostile even, but for the most part GOG hasn't been like other gaming areas.. Let's keep it that way.. :)

EDIT: Forgot to mention: gog ROCKS, especially because of the people!!! :)

I'm going to help you get sleep. I'm putting up one copy of Jack Keane 2 for $99,999.99. You can buy it - or get some sleep waiting for the counter to get to zero.
Anyone has a Spellforce Platinum key for trade? pls PM me

LAU00050: *Snaps back to consciousness

Oh, what a horrible night to have a curse. And where have all these games come from? Oh, not again?!

In all seriousness, it's been fun. Special thanks to Kaitu for being a fine gentleman and gifting me Beyond Good and Evil despite my best wishes, and Khaleesia87 for trading and the long chats. Should be back again for the xmas sale. Arrivederci all!
Upvoted for kickass out of the blue Simon's Quest reference.
American McGee's Grimm just got released on GoG, American McGee's Alice should be on GoG too=).
