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

nijuu: what time is it in poland now?
Time to change the deal?
high rated
I actually have Jack Keane one from a bundle deal on another site, but never played it yet. Wasn't really interested in this one but bit the bullet because that 50 or so needs to clear lol.

This did accomplish something. To pass the time I watched the "WTF is ..." video of Guacamelee which convinced me to put it on my wishlist.
I'm going afk for a bit; Jack Keane, you better be at 2 copies left when I return!!

Idonoghue: We should all buy one in memory of this never-ending, time-slowing, nightmarish, nauseating moment ;)
I'd rather take a gun to the head and shoot myself in the leg.

saberwolfxm: Has anyone seen TeT or the other gog staff? Usually their on here posting but I havn't seen them this entire day. They have to be reading our comments so why havn't they said anything?

Osiris11235: They might be regretting the language of the contract they signed with Jack Keane 2's devs saying that they would sell the allotted copies of the game before putting another game on sale.
Very very possible. Sadly. If they choose to run a promo like this (with a time limiter like people have suggested) in the future.. hopefully it would stop situations like this or RCR/RTC3 (both were 40 or so minute waiting times as well)...

Right. They are waking up now. But soon they will see our comments. And then, they will look for the person who forgot to put a timeout in their software. :D
I'm tempted to go out again, but it's getting close to morning in the land where my money regularly goes, I can just see stepping out and having someone with GOG rank show up and skip the stalled game.

I come back, expecting to see thirty or so copies of JK2 left to sell, only to see that The Chaos Engine, Jade Empire, and Eador have all three come back up while I was out.

totaldepravity: I hope I catch a sale for Carmageddon or disciples: sacred lands. Thanks for the awesome sale GOG!!

JohnnyCash: Good to know there are actually still people with hope here. You'll be taught a lesson by Jack soon.
LOL!! It can't be THAT bad........can it?
Is this a one day promo or until supplies run out? The promo news bulletin indicates the latter.

If every member of GOG donated a dollar we would be past this sale already. At least until it comes up again in the cycle.
PSA: Every person that goes to bed while JK2 is on sale, adds 1 more copy to the overall number of units for the next sale... which is Lucius. Heed the curse of Jack, experience insomnia!
We're at 41 right now.
