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

LAU00050: Fair to assume this a speed bump? On that note, I'm out, up at 6am. Good luck with Don't Starve, it's only be so long since it last appeared. It must be popping up any moment now.

That or final encore.

nijuu: Hope its soon.Im off to sleep asap lol
Forget sleeping. Just ride it all the way down. I mean, sure, it might drive you a little crazy. But that's part of the fun.

No, like I said, preventing or some crap, we can stop it...probably.

trebor8273: sorry but some of them do, every other posts is a moan from some people about how crap the sale is and that they did not get a free game. if it upsets them so much go someplace else!

Artificer: Welcome to the modern world, where people will even complain about free stuff.

Back in MY day we had to carve our games ourselves, out of a piece of wood! And we didn't even get a knife, we had to chip it out with a rock! And not a sharp rock either! I bludgeoned the original Wing Commander out of a chunk of oak with a big old hunk of talc and I was lucky to get a big hunk!
what gog need to do if they have a sale like this next time only people who buy something can try to get free games, a lot of the moaners seems like they have not bought a single thing.

What, you mean you guys had wood? We had to use granite for our games. And as for a hunk of talc, try teeth! I'll tell you what, you didn't have too many teeth left to eat with after finishing off a AAA game.

mortalkombat: lets do a survey here:

how many (bought) games you have and much usd you spend on those? (from GOG)
I only purchased System Shock 2 -- previously bought everything else I wanted -- and spent $1.99. Best deal ever!

I just found out about this promo 45 minutes ago... didn't get a chance to read my email yesterday. But I think I'm better off for it... I would have spent too much time yesterday watching the deals instead of working. ;)

In any event, I got Ultima 7 and Riddick, this morning for a total of $4.50. Not bad. Just don't know how long I'll be sticking around. This is fun and all, but it's another busy work day...

I think the next freebie should be something that nobody wants, just to sit there in judgement on all the cheaters.
