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

park_84: When is this promo supposed to be over?
I kinda hope soon. I have to be back at work in less than 5 hours and haven't gotten any sleep since I got home from work almost 3 hours ago =P

So nobody knows, right?

Hackworthy: Really GoG should delete all reviews penned during this deal. Despite what I said I'm not actually complicit in the fraudulent reviewing.
avatar
Artificer: 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.
It would be pretty funny that some of them stayed up.

Apparently not. BG2 has only been up once, right?

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?
avatar
Nesoo: 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.
He probably means the start of the sales, which was basically the start of European night. We had freebies till I went to sleep, around the second, fated time Keane appeared. Lucky me I guess :P
"Jack Keane, all that Uncharted is... and more!"

Yes just once, I think so too.

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

Frostyfirefly: True, I've noticed.
It could be marketing, but I assume it's more symptomatic of people "defending" their favourite games.

I mean, I've noticed I have a much sunnier view of old games I actually played when I was younger. I got the Interplay bundle a while back and I found I can't deal with the clunky controls and interfaces of most of the games in there; the ones I wasn't playing when I was a wee bitty one.

M.A.X.X.? I find the interface, AI, etc almost unbearable.

Castles? Totally. Despite the fact that it's objectively a much worse game than M.A.X.X. =P But one I played, one I did not.

nijuu: Had a shower and come back to see Postal 2 is still going... geee...
avatar
bradelli: 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.
I think 50% metacritic.
I think I'm going to miss it. Which is too bad. I'm not going to lose sleep over 8 dollars though, lol. I just wanted to get it on the cheap because I'm on the fence about it.
I can't believe Postal 2 is still on sale. This game is legendary

Gog should have a big winter sale coming up next month.,. You can probably get a deal if you can wait a month.
