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

I think this type of promo is crap, but I seem to be in the minority (actually, this kind of surprised me). I don't like to watch the GOG page all the time, I don't like this kind of impulse purchases, and I don't like to have the feeling that I missed a great deal (and the deals seem to be selling out really fast now, unlike at the beginning from what I can gather from the first posts). Fortunately, my wishlist is very short since I have enough backlog already, otherwise I would probably be somewhat annoyed after the promo.
I had a blast playing Puddle but I would say it's not a game for everybody. Be quick with your decision...
What happens if nobody buys a game n sale to we have to wait till all copy's are gone before new one shows up
On the checkout screen Theme Hospital told me I already owned it...

Paul31286: Yeah, it's kind of annoying the "Owned" indication doesn't seem to work during this sale.

senhorlampada: You gotta click on the game's name to check it out
No, it simply doesn't work.
Oh my : \ I missed Shelter EVEN watching the sale page u_u

MobiusArcher: Do you at least get it as code, so you can give it away? I know steam doesn't work like that, but GOG seems to be pretty good about that sort of thing. Christmas is coming, and I bet you know at least one person who would like the game.
Yep, I have the code, which I will most likely save for a lucky perosn.

Don't worry, that won't happen.
Nice, interested enough to get Puddle at this price.
You monsters. I've been on the website today for a two minutes and already two games went by. This is crazy. I don't even know what I would want at this point.

I doubt it will be an issue.

Telnet: I did, yet it gave no indication at all that I owned it on the sale page.
Strange, it always shows the game as owned for me when I get to the cart. And gives me an option to gift them instead.
$2 for a interesting and colorful looking indie puzzle game?

Eh, sure.
I think I'll take a break. Bought enough for today.
The games that sell slowly must feel so awkward...like being picked last in school team sports.

it's hilarious, in an abstract kinda way.
