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

Picchia: I'm afraid the promo ends once 300 Daikatana's have to be sold.
No, it will end once a single copy of Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude has to be given away for free.
Wow. War games is really slow. I think how fast the games go also has to do with price. It is easier to blow 2 bucks than 7 on an impulse buy.

God damn internet connection crapped out on me. Missed everything from Dark Eye until now. Would have bought Deus Ex to replace my Steam copy.

mrking58: I'm shocked that this game isn't selling at all
It is selling. Just very slowly.

GOGwiiisfun: What would happen if the promo ran out while you were checking out?
I assume once an item is in your basket it's "safe" for a period of time. I noticed The Dark Eye kept jumping up and down in quantity and assume it's from user baskets clearing if not purchased after a reasonable time.

EckoShy: Lol, Wargame has been stuck at 41 copies for like a solid minute.

Must not be a very popular sort of game.
I'm tempted to buy the danged game just so we can advance to the next one.

Don't let that stop you from buying it. Its crazy awesome.

undeadcow: Are you guessing, or is there a list of games offered in this sale?
I'm just guessing .
which games came out before wargame?
@GOGwiiisfun I imagine that you have it reserved at the price once you click, and it's then when the number falls. Not at completion of the order.
Fork out your $6.69 so we can move on pleeeeese :P

Ophelium: You might have a chance with Wargame.
phew, I made it back! this is stressful!

GOGwiiisfun: What would happen if the promo ran out while you were checking out?
From what I gathered, once you go to the checkout screen, that copy is reserved until you checkout or cancel. I tend to type my credit card info slowly and IWD was waiting for me regardless.
