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

BoxOfSnoo: Well, they're harder to deal with in a backlog.
They never exit the backlog! Every good strategy game must be played again.
I literally don't even see these freebies, it skips right over them. Do you guys hit refresh or just let it go from one to the next?
What a day to have no money.

Ophelium: I'm waiting for a slow seller so I can get a break in.

Licurg: Here's your chance, Theme Hospital is gonna sell reasonably slow.
Wrong lol. Do you know nothing of this games fanbase? :P
Something wrong, the soon as Shelter appeared I clicked and didn't get it.
Theme Hospital won't last long at that price.

Ghorpm: Now it's probably a good moment. 500 Theme Hospital games should take some time...
Oh, you mean those three hun... eh... two hundred copies?

revanbh: But there was a great sale like last week. Hmm. Could pick up HOMM IV and M&M 6, 7, 8.

GabiMoro: yes, but not at 80% off :)
It was like 2.39$ apiece. Bought Heroes III and Chronicles myself.

ReynardFox: I have ZERO hope of getting a freebie, i've lost before the image even begins to change. -.-
If you want Shelter, you can get it for $1 (plus others) here.

EckoShy: Lol, Shelter free for less than a second. Glad I already own that one.

And now Theme Hospital.

I'm sorry, but even for only $1.49 I don't feel it's worth it. Doesn't look like my kinda game.
You should give it a chance, it's a really fun game.

peixoto: Thats just IMPOSSIBLE for me to get the free ones.... I clicked before reading!!!! And lost it
Eu sei como você se sente :[
I imagine it being the middle of the day in North America is also a factor in speeding the sales up. Everyone's up and around, having lunch, keeping their eyes glued to GOG's front page...
all those games are being sold that fast?

I clicked on it while there were still copies available but it said expired when the page loaded. Feels like a waste of time sitting and watching if it's going to do things like that.
