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 wonder if I bought this would I have enough time to finish the game before it sold out.
This is ridiculous. END IT GUYS, I WANT TO BUY SOME GAMES!

nijuu: Man this is worse than RTC3 . So slow
*time to check out the release for today*

gbaz69: I say it is because RCR is over priced to begin with. if it was 9.99 with 75% of sale it would be a lot quicker I say.
I even traded for this game earlyer... or else I'd buy it now.
Yes, some indies need to get used to competing prices and loose out on sales as a result of it...

Celton88: Not entirely, Expeditions: Conquistador and Shelter sold out pretty quickly. But it does seem that the older ones generally sell faster than the newer indie ones.
I bought the Conquistador game almost out of desperation. It was the only game in the last hours I managed to actually get my hands on in time that interested me and that I didn't already have. Shelter is the game I regret missing the most. I'll wait if it's up again after RCR, although I should be sleeping for some time now...

My daughter just finished it.
The thing is I wasn't even pregnant when the sale started.
Like I said, just buy extra copies and give them away.
Next up, I think we all deserve a free game after waiting for Retro City Rampage to sell out ;)

Ya, I think Shelter looks pretty cool too. I wouldn't mind it coming up.
Been away from the forums; I gather from the comments that Retro City Rampage has been overstaying its welcome? I thought I remembered the game being well-received when it first came out here. Anyway, with 25 left, it can't last that much longer.

Its a hard call though. WHat is a decent price range for Indie games?. AAA games are normally $40- $50. AA/middle range around $30. Kickstarters by known devs around $20-25 (although it seems to be creeping upo... some KS are asking for this despite not ever making a game before)
Not even joking, I think its been over an hour now since Spellforce started then this came after it and still isn't gone yet.
