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

Mr_GeO: Just out of purely academic interest - how was freebies hunting during the (european) night?
Better than yesterday or you guys got a crapload of teddy bears again?
I believe there was one freebie which was still overloaded then we got Jack Keane and 5 hours of nothing
Had a shower and come back to see Postal 2 is still going... geee...

If the European night was when I think it was.... there was no freebie hunting, because Jack Keene 2 clogged up the queue for 4.5-5 hours.

cannard: There were a few instances I can recall where the game would disappear from your shelf if you didn't download it right away as warned. It had to do with the Colin McRae Rally games we used to have I know, I don't know of any others.
I really want the Collin Mc Rae games. So stupid that they are gone. The new rally games aren't rally games at all.

transformer84488: If only GOG would keep the number of copies for each game even at 200. That way the sale would move on much faster, barring the Jack Keane's of course.
Jack Keane had 100 copies, that were sold after the time of 4 1/2 hours. Do the math yourself.

Hackworthy: TO THE REVIEWS PAGE!

mkess: Maybe, just maybe, their new sale method has a little unexpected sideeffect. :D
Indeed, many 5 start games lately .

Ho, yus, as if the 5-star reviews weren't always the top ones anyway.

The freebie was "Jack Keane 2"
When is this promo supposed to be over?
Really GoG should delete all reviews penned during this deal. Despite what I said I'm not actually complicit in the fraudulent reviewing.

Haha, same here. Shower, back, postal 2 still selling slowly. Come on people. It was voted game of the decade by Edge magazine, 99%, 5/5, 10/10 all round.

Funny, you wrote that, and the count went down by 1.

I'm imagining they probably will go through them and remove the majority.

That being said, this sale is likely to prompt a fair few legitimate reviews too.

Sure, but that was after the long slog and after people were talking about it being morning in Poland.
