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

mortalkombat: can you tell the hacker to bring SS2 now and then do whatever he wants?

Ungunbu: it's not about choosing the next game, it's about placing an order in the same millisecond it appears on the site, got it?
Would you stop harping on this now, please?

No, there is no "hacking" going on, there are just thousands of people all clicking the button at the same time.

Move along, nothing to see here.

Depends on your preferences. My cousin hates it, but he is young and he prefer graphically intense games - like, well, Bioshock. So System Shock is too old for him. I have no issues in this game. Gameplay-wise - remember date of release, that's all.

Nesoo: Well, I think this'll do it for me... I waited out Larry just in case I wanted the next one, but I already have The Real Texas and I don't expect it to sell quickly (which is a shame, I liked the little bit that I played), so time to finally go to bed.
*Waves hand
You want to gift The Real Texas

Thief 3: Deadly Shadows

There are a bunch of games which has appeared a second time (or first time) as a freebie. No idea if the freebie counts as a 2nd time of not.
It doesn't seem so; there were games which were free and on sale before we get once all of the 101 games.

Det_Bullock: people who live in a small (although hevaily urbanized) island can only stare as the free games dash away in the blink of an eye.
Even in built-up areas with high-speed connections, we're experiencing the same thing. Well, all but 40 of us.

Never played it but many regards SS 2 as one of the best FPS horror games ever made.

Ungunbu: really, don't u think someone is hacking javascript to get free games before others?
avatar
CorranHorn: No, I´ve seen this happen to games on sale as well, this happens due to high traffic caused by a page reloading.
That's not the point. I could do it myself if i wanted.

99.99% on? That would be awesome nearly 60 dollars
I have a 100mbps connection and I stared at the opening page for hours and couldnt even see some free games coming! they were gone in...like....a quarter of a second! The few ones that I could actually see went away so fast that I couldnt even read the full name propely.

exactly, imho besides the fact that thousands of people are trying to the them there is also some amount of hacking
