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

CarrionCrow: 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.
I agree completly, they are loosing money and sympathy.
JK2 seems to be picking up pace now.
Snatched Thief 2 & Spellforce out of this with the last chunks of money I had.

I think it's a nice idea for a sale and certainly keeps you excited for more, but getting the free games is some kind of an impossible lottery (for me, at least), and then appears.. well, the game that stops this whole thing.

If there was a time limit for each item, and not just the number of sales in order to advance it, there would be no problem.
I wonder if GOG staff are buying copies now to fake the sales, seems like it is actually moving some now.
So 20 pages of Jack Keane 2 banter...that's over 10% of this thread. And it was going so well until now.
75 copies of Jack Keane 2 on the wall, 75 copies of Jack Keane 2! You take one down try to pass it around. Still stuck with 75 copies of Jack Keane 2 on the wall....
Hello! Nice to see so many of you came to play with me! -Jack Keane.

Wiewioor: The good news is (for JK2 developers), fact that this game has got some attention.

It's first time in history of JK2, that it became an object of such vivid discussion.
Most people, outside of EA and their "most talked about" ad campaign for ME3, don't want that kind of attention.

I think the issue is that fans have already bought this, and at full price, the rest of us don't want it.
I thought this was supposed to be the "Insomnia" promo. Jack Keane 2 is just having the opposite effect on everyone. Unless you count those of us fixated on how boring a deal it is, LOL.

In that case, congrats GOG?

Why you should buy Jack Keane 2:

Forget Mario and Luigi; those sewer crawling peasants. Sonic? Ignore that washed out hog. Deus Ex GOTY? More like Ex GOTY.

Jack Keane 2 is a marvel of video gaming engineering and cinematic wonder. It is a true testament to the art form that is video games and will stand the test of time with its outstanding voice acting and compelling story that modern video games cannot recreate.

Well, that's the thing... people will keep waiting. Even if it takes 24 hours for JK2 to sell 100 copies, people will still be sitting here, counting it down to the last copy.
