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

Am I reading this right or does it say 80?!
80 as of now, moving right along :)
Maybe the number's decreasing because we want something better to munch our wallets on

CrowTRobo: OMG, someone just bought a copy!!
- Wasn't me! I swear!
- <barely heard mumble>
- Yes, your honour, I brought it down from 84 to 83, but I didn't buy another one after that. See, only $11.99 taken from my account.
- <mumble>
- I wouldn't know how to do that. I've heard about crooks doing that, but I'm not one of them.
- <mumble>
- *sigh*
OK, then, i'll continue to write my PhD thesis ...Jack made procrastinating boring. Congrats.
Ok, caught up on arrow and person of interest, now I'm watching axe cop, brickleberry and south parks.
I hope my review of the game helped the sale. :P
Edit: I can't tell if it was posted or not.

I wonder how many copies of Jack Keane 2 have been sold at full price. Three, four maybe?

A thousand.
Dear GOG night shift,

I'm sure you're all tired since it's very, very late, so it's understandable that you're wanting to veg for a bit with a nice caffeinated beverage and wait for the daytime crew to come in so you can all go home. But seriously, this is bringing your previously frantic, spastic fingered click for goodies extravaganza to a painful, screeching halt.
Like a race car colliding with a brick wall going 120 mph.
Please, for the love of any god you're fond of, switch the frigging thing out to something that will actually sell.
You might be obligated to provide a certain amount for this promotion. You might not have to at all. I don't know.
But this is turning your big sale into a massive joke.
There are still people sitting here, money in hand, waiting for something else to come along. At this rate, it will take hours to sell out. Hours and hours and hours.
Give it some thought.
If I were loaded I would buy all 80 copies and gift them to everyone on this thread.

Dont get excited. Its the just the matrix making a correction, we will be stuck on 80 for the extra alloted time and will be back to 1 copy every 5-10 minutes soon.

Somebody over there at the server farm put this game out of its misery, show some humanity for gods sakes.
