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

Dirtman73: How is it possible that the free games are going so quickly? I literally had my my hand on the "Buy Now" button when the system changed over to the Puddle free giveaway, and I still wasn't able to grab it.

Bots maybe? Some kind of autoscript? Either way, it sucks.
Idk but just hovering my mouse over the buy now button when a new deal comes up I managed to snag 3 free games, TA Kingdoms, Primordia, and Moo1+2. No scripts or bots, just clickin that buy now button as fast as possible when it changes over. Each time I got a free game I got an error screen but the game was in my account page. And I live on the west coast in the USA, far from GoG hq. These games had a decent amount of free copies, stuff like Rayman origins with 8 free copies would be an impossibility I bet.

ozzyoscy: I'm probably gonna make the devs cry, but Jack Keane for $30 at full price? What makes them think it's worth that much?
It's obvious that it's not even worth $12 GOG is asking.

DubConqueror: Well, that made my post invalid, the universe didn't stop at 83, but I won't get my hopes up. Never at GOG have I seen such exictement at the sale of a single copy.
Hahah, imagine when it gets to 80?

Unfortunately everyone in Poland is asleep right now. Anyone have the home/cell phone number of a GOG employee? I'm sure they wouldn't mind being dragged out of bed.
Hey, has anybody heard? Jack Keane 2 has been scientifically proven to regrow hair, cure cancer and grow your penis to gigantic proportions!!!! Hurry and get you copy today!!!!!!

mondo84: I feel bad for the developers of Jack Keane 2.
They should have thought about this before making a bad game then.
It's just so good, you won't want to fall asleep.... zzz
They shoulda made jack keane a free one...

CrowTRobo: OMG, someone just bought a copy!!

The Universe did end at 83, we are just the quicksave.
I'm not sure if I would buy JK2 for 5 cents!

Haven't seen any of those.
Yes, kids, thanks to jack, and a "slight" miscalculation from GOG, sale is over.

Go to bed and sleep. ;)
Heh, looking at the best sellers list... Jack Keene 2 was released on GOG about 5 months ago. Valdis Story was released last week. JK2 is only 2 ranks above Valdis Story...

I think it's gonna be a while.
They need to change the tagline for this sale....

"Jack Keane 2: The Final Sleep"

I think that game is holding up traffic due to its 12 dollar price. Should be 6 dollars or something
