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

This is the stuff of legend. I will tell someone else's grandchildren about this day. After all, I sat here watching this instead of going out and getting laid, I ain't having grandkids of my own.
If this ever gets though I hope they put thief 3 iv missed all the other ones which they reposted about twice ;_;

On the plus side, It's bought a few forum lurkers out of the bushes and got them posting, Myself included.
Think i'm going to add a request in the community wishlist to have all Jack Keane games both current and future installments permenantly banned from GoG.
woot finally 25 left
After all this wait I bet the next game is one I already own. LOL

Fezred: I feel really sorry for those who jumped on the sale right before the Jack Keane 2 turd floated along and blocked the pipes. There were great old games (and new) coming thick and fast. Many were selling out so fast you couldn't waste time reaching for a credit card.

Anyone care to work out how many copies of NWN2 or Thief Gold would have sold in the same timeslot at their sales rates?
avatar
Melhelix: Well, NWN2 sold at a rate of 1400 in 1.5 minutes. So that's 56,000 copies per hour. Of course, it likely would not have sustained that rate for a great period of time, but oh yeah. That's why this is supposed to be a FLASH sale. *grumble mumble*

More entertaining:

For less than a copy of Jack Keane 2 (on sale!) you could buy:

Ultima VII $1.49
Master of Orion 1+2 $1.49
Heroes of Might and Magic III $2.49
Jade Empire $2.99
Chronicles of Riddick $2.99
-------
$11.45

Here's a list with prices. Feel free to make your own, Less than a Copy of Jack Keane 2 list!
Yeeesh. It really does hammer it home. Agree with it all. Too high a price compared to these other sales gems and what happened indeed to the flash sale element? I hope they put a timer in next time... even if only to keep the money coming in.
Wonder what the GOG Staff think now reading through these threads when they get in/got in this morning LOL
I'm singing that song Linus sings while he's waiting for the Great Pumpkin in Snoopy The Musical...it seemed appropriate.

"I'll give him till eleven,
alright,elevennine,
but elevennine is really where I draw the line."
ought to be a 15 min time limit regardless of stock...been downright painful with Jack Keanne up for so dam long!
I clicked the community tab and saw this topic highlighted with the blue notice and thought "Yay a blue showed up to kill it!" Then I realized it will show it as highlighted if a blue ever posted in the topic :(
