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

htown1980: It's REALLY REALLY GOOD!!! You should buy 80 copies... NOW DO IT DO IT DO IT

na, I don't know. The single review suggests its not awesome...
avatar
Flam3crow: BUY ALL 83 COPIES OF IT, NOW.
I'll buy them...after I earn my doctorate...still in undergrad so good luck praying for that. But really, I'd love to help more, but I just spent the time waiting to research this game....eh.

shade: 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 ?
Nope, I'm on the buy page right now.
At least support your fellow European's language. It's Autumn!

Beelzebubb: Next game on sale will probably be Jack Keane 1
Next sale will be another Jack Keane 2 with 600 copies.
For everyone.
Jack NotKeen has fallen to sleep.... So I do it too now, bye and good night to y'all!

@gog: community here was very fun, promo very not.

htown1980: 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.
Check the bottom 30 games on their Best Seller list. Gives u a good idea of what people dont like...

Fictionvision: I know one. Jack Keane 2's sale rate.

Edit: I wonder if any of the devs out there are reading us trash their games and are getting sad/angry.
avatar
stylez82: If they're getting sad/angry from that then they need to grow thicker skin. They're creating a product for quite possibly the pickiest group of consumers that has ever existed, and if they run off to their room crying every time someone bashes their product, they might as well get out of the business now.
Good on them, but they could just use the adventure game maker.
Where were you when Jack Something Something 2 killed the Insomnia sale?
15 min later the review asking for 83 more people to buy it is still valid :(
83gate. Never get past.
I give up, I just can't wait 10 hours for a game, this has been a lame excuse of a promo.

At least the community is nice.
avatar
Flam3crow: It actually has been.

Captain_Picard: Is there a chance it will go back on sale?
No chance with Jack Kane 2 ahead
I went to bed 6 hours ago when the first round of games was through and they started repeating the deals (beginning with 600 copies of Hotline Miami). Did I miss anything since then or did they really just repeat all the deals?

Gunsik: In Jack keane 3 They should put easter egg with number 83
no, man, it must be called "curse of 83 dead gamers"
Good Night, and Good Luck
Hope you don't get 1000 Jack Keane 2 after this
