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

So what? You didn't get a freebie. Just enjoy the wonderful sale and grab some discounted games.
I didn't get a freebie either but I bought Rogue Legacy and I'm pretty happy. :-)
I still can't believe I got Dark Eye free o_O

Ok, in the end of the day, thanks GOG .....

:D

Uzur9: Same here. Still need to finish my playthru of 1.

ryanyth: BG1 is nice. But imo is too overrated.
1st 4 levels are hell. After that the difficulty drops very significantly.
I rolled a character through The Black Pits so Im maxed its slightly fun yet not at the same time.

spoonwhale: So if i got a free game, then i can't give it away or trade it?
avatar
gandalf.nho: Only if you got it as a gift (in the case you already had the game)
Oh. Since i got chains of satnav and I don't really want it :l

It'd be better if i could trade it or give it away to someone who wants it.

StarBoundZA: Anyone know when NWN2 is gonna cycle again?
Already appeared twice, then I guess only if they decide to do a third round

trebor8273: grow up, there a bigger problems in the world than you not getting a free game. what about things like the philippines flood, jesus what a moron
avatar
YellowAries: How is that relevant?
I agree why bring up that awful news? Only to troll I know.
Where is that list? The one on reddit is inaccurate.

Senteria: Where is that list? The one on reddit is inaccurate.
it's that one
I have a question:

Has anyone from the US been able to win a free game?

how? read your post moaning about something as piety as not getting free game, when they are bigger problems in the world. if upsets you so much please don't buy anymore games from gog
Didn't Jack Keane 2 have a rating around 2-3 stars before the sale? That must have been planned by some evil genius :D

wolfsite: I wouldn't say it's unfair, however you can be in a disadvantage if you don't have a decent internet connection or a sluggish computer.

You know there are thousands of people that have a better setup than you, right?
avatar
YellowAries: Just for the fact how GOG handled giving away these free games I vow to NEVER buy another game from GOG ever again... seriously pissed off about this

And I purchased over 70 games from GOG
I'm quite pissed, too, and I got 115 games from GOG. I think I gave this company enough of my money, I think I know where I'll get the other ones for free.

The game should be good, give it a try!

Pointed out many times before but I'll try again. Limited to a couple dozen copies and literally multiple thousands of people trying for it at the same time. So your odds are thousands to one of getting the game. Is it really a surprise that you don't get one? Really?
