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

If you type the name of the game in the search field in the bar, the game will be greyed out if you already own it.

I almost bought Theme Hospital but checked that way to make sure.

Telnet: I did, yet it gave no indication at all that I owned it on the sale page.

sunshinecorp: 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.
Ahh, that'd be it, it did ask me to send it as a gift which I did. I had merely assumed it was tied to this whole sale on the whole.
Am I seeing things, or there was a "Shelter" for FREE here????
But before I even move my mouse to click on it, it was gone, and then Theme Hospital appear?

I'll make sure to do this in future, thank you.

I'd be all over it if I didn't already own it.

Always
Always does that but it's easy to mistake it I guess, if you haven't tried buying something you already own before.
Duke!

PaterAlf: I think I'll take a break. Bought enough for today.
You want to pull yourself away but know you can't. :P
This is just silly, I'm not going to keep refreshing GOG.com just to catch every single deal before it expires.

Steam has the right idea with scheduled flash deals every 8 hours during the last Summer Sale. But this.... no thank you.

Yes, it was free for a few secs.
