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

That's for the Spring Insomnia Promo, right?

Could you post the link to the online Newsletter from it? (◕‿◕✿)

Very interesting... and I'm a bit bummed as you people had my hopes up for Insomnia next week! ;) And I can't see GoG doing Galaxy and Insomnia at once. That would change Insomnia to In-SANITY!!!

Yeah, I think this makes sense. Both together seems a stretch. Me, I'd rather have Insomnia than Galaxy, but oh well. :)

Yes, and yes! Cheers! :-)

Perhaps they'll combine Galaxy with the Insomnia Promo to promote Galaxy enabled titles?

Hmm... need to keep an eye on which games got and get their installers updated, might be the ones in the Promo if my idea stands any chance.

I will be tremendously disappointed if all that next week brings is Galaxy. :(

Well, assuming we don't get one tomorrow (and I doubt we will), next week should bring another LA title. So there's that. :)

Some files (in a very small number of games) were updated with apparent GOG Galaxy material. I don't see how that means anything will happen next week specifically. Am I missing something?

Judas mentioned in that thread that we would know the reason in just a couple of days. Not sure if JMich noticed something more concrete than that with his pronouncement.
