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

groze: Septerra went faster than I'd expected. This has been an interesting experience, seeing what games GOGgers favor the most. Apparently, the point and click adventure community (the one I'm probably a part of) in here isn't as big as I thought. Big enough to buy those games fast, but definitely not as huge as the strategy or RPG ones.

I don't think any action RPG (anything non-turn based, even when it's *remotely* turn based) will be up for grabs, and most of the ones I'd want I own already.

So far I only got three games out of this sale, not because there weren't great titles being discounted, but because I already have most of the games that interest me. So, all I nabbed until now were Baldur's Gate 2 (fan of Infinty Engine games, mostly on account of the great Planescape: Torment, and BG2 was oddly lacking on my collection), Theme Hospital (never played it, heard of it, I like some of Bullfrog's games, thought I might as well give it a try) and Psychonauts (have it on disk but was too good a deal to pass, that game is AWESOME).

And now, my fellow point and clickers, please buy the Blackwell Bundle, I can't recommend it enough. Any P-n-C adventure game published by Wadjet Eye is sheer gold.
This is a fairly big generalization on my part, but from what I've see. If a game is cheap (Like $3 or less) it goes if nothing else to people curious. If a game is a classic, it goes. If a game is cheap and a classic it flies out of here.

There are exceptions, but the ones that I've seen go fastest after the initial cycle were NWN 2 at $4, the Thief games at $2 and Theme Hospital at $1.49.
AAAAAAAAAAnnnnddd here it is. System Shock 2 (1000)
Happy shopping folks. This will go fast.

eroeru: Actually, the whining is proof that this promo is good and popular. If there's many participating, there will undoubtedly be those really whiny. + it means the sale has people's full attention.

The one extra buy of a whiny customer is easily exchanged with 10 new customers.

As to "impossible" - you're just plain wrong. I'd guess there are thousands if not tens of thousands of people competing with each other with their internet speed and lucky clicking. Usually 40 freebies given. You do the math.

PS I got 3 freebies with a mediocre connection not anywhere near Poland. And I don't have any idea how to run a script on this.
What has Poland got to do with anything??
There it is! :)
I have it already, but I'm getting an extra copy just because it's awesome :D
There you go, you whiners, 1000 copies of the overrated System Shock 2 80% discounted up for grabs.
I wonder if System Shock sells out quicker than are hero Jack Keane
YAY! My System got Shocked!
If only Jack Keane went that fast...
Oh, one more question to the whiners - why must you be so childish or self-centered? If someone gets something, does that automatically mean you also need it given to *you*?

Start thinking about things in a bigger and objective perspective for once.
I don't see why people are complaining. Of course the free games are going to be hard to get, it's pretty much a lottery ticket. If you win, you were lucky.

Yay, I finally got System Shock 2.
