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'm too much on this topic and to little on the frontpage. Baldur's Gate 2 zipped by? How many copies, how fast? Tell me!

Need to redo my poem:

Night of love with my girlfriend

She hoped for a Jack Keane

I did a Baldur's Gate.
Too bad, they already deleted the ingenious reviews for Jack Keane 2 on metacritic.

Piranjade: 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. :-)
So what? ... "what" is how GOG handled this, and the fact people are essentially cheating for the free games.. whatever, I don't care about it anymore because it's obviously not going to get me anywhere by talking about it. I can make my statement by standing by my decision not to buy anymore games from here.

bell02: it seems few people are clicking instant 24/7 1000cliks a sec. via script! ... i mean, the keys for the freebies are already gone when the game is showing up!? ...thats not normal!
Seeing as the script seems to update every 2 sec, there's a bit of delay till the text renders, and then there's your ping as well, it's extremely normal, in terms of probability I mean. Very normal not to even see that a game was free at all actually, since it doesn't last 2 seconds, so if there's a counter update right before the last unit of the previous one is sold, the next may well be after the one that follows the freebie starts. And there are thousands of people trying to jump at those things (sure, some using scripts too).

Edit: Well, that was an old message, woops. Forum skipping many pages back again after posting, thought it was new. Uh well.

Coelocanth: 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?
Again, it's not the point, it's the principal.

Not me, every single free game that loaded for me, once clicked lead to error screen ;( EVERY TIME!

Do you need a copy of BG2?
I understand people that are pissed off. This sale is very exploitative.

To each their own. No need to go bash someone for giving their opinion. You don't need to defend GOG. They can take care of themselves.
