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

This is an interesting insight into the bad gog gem promos. At the rate this is going, I suspect that it would not be uncommon for gog to sell less than 50 copies of some of the pretty bad games they have on their promos.
This is sad. I mean, it's a 60% off sale, going out for the ENTIRE WORLD to grab and it has only sold 17 copies so far. Makes you wonder if they should go for a permanent price drop.
Maybe this Keane 2 thing is a way of saying: "It's over. Move along. Get some sleep. Shower. Mate."
Sadly. i lost system shock and Deus Ex....for me the promo is over.....jack kane 2 never gonna end. :(
I wonder if they have a slider for the price control somewhere....drop it to 80% and I'll take it :)
Damnit, no one wants Jack Keane! Bring back Don't Starve and Shelter that haven't shown up since early this morning.

JakFox: Is Jack Keane any good? Or has it already come up on the rotation?
A bit of both I feel. I've played Jack Keane 2. It's a load of puzzles that barely make sense, a ridiculously out of place combat mechanic, awful controls, painful writing, unlikeable characters, dull cliches and terrible voice acting.
What happens if 83 people add a copy of this game to their cart, but don't complete the order ? The deal will change, no ?

Edit :
Nvm, doesn't seem to work.

It's bad enough that I missed the Spelunky gem promo because I was bedridden with the flu on that day, now you want micro-promos that last a fraction of a day?

Cmon guys, I can't be glued to GOG website all day just to be around when the promo that I want pops up.

Besides, competing with other customers to get that copy of a game on special doesn't exactly bring fond memorie here.

Yellowsamuel: Is every game on the site gonna go on sale at some point? I've a few in my wish list I'd like to snap up.
Nope

Man this sucks. I manage to get some cash and it's stuck on a single game I don't care for.

Worse, a couple games I did want have come and gone already.

DAMN YOU, JACK KEANE!!!!!

Zera: I found it amusing.
Yeah, I mean it wouldn't be funny if it actually happened, the joke itself was pretty good.
