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

Hi all, back, I would really like to see the stats , before I have to run off, but probably they will leave them up for at least a day or two.

Bought about 20 games (including bundles, but not the expansion packs) for roughly $31. I've never played any of them, except Icewind Dale..and bought that one for an expansion I hadn't played.

Saw a great community come together and was especially surprised to see all the gifting and codes being bandied about. Speaks volumes for the people here.

I loved the sale. I found myself sleeping with my phone to see what games were chosen, even after I had nothing to buy. Since the sale started, I was glued to the frontpage and this mammoth thread, lol.

Was a great time!

Thought I'd pop back to see who was still around. Looks like a few insomniacs are having trouble letting go, and I don't blame them. It was an amazing few days and I'm missing them already. Watching that counter get lower and lower and hoping the next game was one of my wants, and if it wasn't then back to the forum to spend the time until the next one with people who were having as much fun as me. It was insane, it was painful, it was exhilarating, it was worth every second and every penny. The twenty games I ended up with will remain valued souvenirs of what we all went through. Thanks to all for being helpful, informative and funny, but most of all for being simply good natured. It was a few days to remember.

Was looking for a total of 4-5 games and ended up with 25 (not including the codes I still have at my disposal).

I still remember the frenzy over trying to hit 10,000 posts by the end of round 2. Look how far we've come! :-p

One of the admins came on like 10 Eadors ago and said they would post stats here and on social media.

I ended up only buying one single game during the entire sale, Megabyte Punch, and I only bought that to see what was next in queue, as it took pretty long to sell through it's lot. Turned out I already owned everything of interest.

Thank you.

Eadors and Keanes, these words are going to take on mythical status and be up there with Klaatu barada nikto and Live long and prosper...

And we can say we were there when they were given birth!

Really, This has been , to me, a especially remarkable event. And I see that's it is not only me saying this, which makes all the better. I am so glad that I was able to be a part of it and here with everyone. Truthfully GOG'ers are the BEST !

My friend who's watched me suffer listened to me comment on how the sale was pretty fun to 'endure', and how the forum guys are pretty cool:

"You find friends through struggle, and hardship."

Pfft!

The sale may be gone, but the community remains... :D

Just remember folks, Jack Keane loves you...

I should add I plan on having at least one of those games on my shelf...

Somebody else has probably already said this, but wouldn't it be great to get us all together to have one huge gaming party and stay up as long as we can having a good face to face time?
