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

I must say, Insomnia Promo was more interesting than Christmas Sale. :/

Higher % off albeit limited number of titles. Plus this thread was pretty social while it was going.. current sale isnt anywhere as close

There's not really an incentive to hang around with the winter sale. For insomnia everyone was waiting for the next game. Now, I can open my daily box, purchase whatever games I want at the current discounts, and then there's no particular reason to come back before tomorrow.

This is probably just as well for my mental and physical well-being. But I have to admit it is less entertaining. :)

Well said. This sale is more sedate by comparison, apart from random GOGbear maulings. The Insomnia sale really did live up to its name, especially in the first 24 hours before anyone knew that items would be repeated. Folks were posting like mad all through that one, it was great.

Yeah bit sedate. I actually preferred the hectic nature (ok ok Jack Keane 2/RCR/Eador/ slowpoke games aside) of the Insomnia sale. They need to hold an Insomnia II sale at some point :)

Aye, it would be good to see Insomnia return in some form. Maybe with a tweak or two to keep it fresh and unexpected.

Yes, I up vote that, and I can say for certain, of all the gaming sites and all the forums, this thread is by far the best I have encountered. A great group of people and very very few trolls. I really did and still do enjoy all of you. My best wishes to you all and thanks for being here, then and now . Also thanks to GOG . Happy Holidays :)
