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

Captain_Picard: I hope I wake up to see Jack Keane 2 on sale
Oh, you will. But it will have a higher number remaining, because this block of it will have sold and we'll get stuck on it when it rolls around again.

Kiroliegh: It's going to be really funny when the main GoG team wakes up and realizes that they only made half the amount they projected all because they could not be assed to program a freaking timer.
Or look in the forum for clues, while they are introducing a new sale software to the masses.

I agree.

And is this the first time they are doing a "limited amount" for sale ... promo?
If yes, then it is a learning experience.

In their defense these are mostly the kind of games with the kind of prices that would sell out fast enough as to not require a timer of any sort. It's just the one thing they failed to take into account was Jack Keane 2: The Fire Within.
I'm guessing that the Insomnia sale is actually already over, and all they've got left is these 50 copies of Jack Keane 2 to sell. But they don't want to spoil it, 'coz people are actually paying $12 for a game they don't want and won't ever play, just to try to clear the queue... Nah, that won't corrupt the market research at all.
It's sad when even the Obamacare site is beating you in sales per hour. Thank you Jack Keane 2, you've found a way to make Healthcare.gov look good when no one else could.
Got home from work, found out about this promo, got pretty excited. Got here shortly before Jack*** Keane came along.
I bet you know the rest of the story, right?
Never forget!

At this point, we can only wish some rich billionaire would take pity on us and buy the 50 remaining copies or else this night is ruined.

Yup, learning experience, but you'd still think they'd have someone looking in from time to time to make sure there's nothing wrong with their experiment.

A single person with admin status could kick this game down and let the cycle start again.

They don't even have to be sober.

Come in drunk from a night of partying, click a button, we're all delivered.
Now if only Jack can hold the sale hostage while I get some sleep and finish nine hours at work...
GOG needs to do something. This game has been stuck like... close to 2 hours or something???.Imagine how much potential $$$ they are losing .....
