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

ahctlucabbus: 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.

gscotti: I don't get all those who are gargling GOG's bollocks. I know in the US it's kind of normal to have a servile attitude towards corporations, but that wasn't the case in Europe, or so I thought.

GOG is a corporation that's doing quite well and they don't need anyone's speshul lub - they're big enough to take care of themselves.
Whoa bro. Why you be attack USA? Can't you keep the whole nation elitism away from here?

The Book of Unwritten Keanes.

gscotti: 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.

SpiderFighter: Good gravy, calm down, people. I have almost 260 games from GOG, but that's irrelevant. It's the luck of the draw, plain and simple, and it beats anything Steam has ever done. Maybe you'll get a free game, maybe you won't, but it's not worth getting upset about it and they can't give away every game to everyone or they'd be out of business.

They've certainly given out games before and will again. Some are first come, first serve (such as this promo and the recent Carmageddon promo, where they gave away 50,000 copies (http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1on3na/iama_developer_of_the_carmageddon_franchise_ama/)), some are just plain given out (see Ultima IV, even though it's a stellar game and already part of a for-sale bundle), and some are conditional (like the recent US Gov't furlough employee giveaway - http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2013/10/10/gog-com-offers-free-games-to-furloughed-federal-employees/).

For a look at home much love GOG has spread, check out http://www.gog.com/mix/free_games_temporarily_free_games and then tell me how many other companies have done the same thing.

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

YellowAries: How is that relevant?
The Insomnia sales event is just like Black Friday deals; limited quantities of select items at great (or semi-great) prices that only a handful of people will be able to benefit from. There is no way to offer a free games in a "fair" manner during a sales event, unless you believe that all potential customers are entitled to receive a free title and company should just suck it up and eat the loss. Which I don't.

I will always buy from GOG before I will buy elsewhere. because they are DRM free... I avoid steam because the DRM!!
