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 pretty happy with this sale. :-D
I bought Rogue Legacy, Geneforge 1-5, and Giana Sisters:TD (which will go into the prize pool of the GOG Blood Bowl League.

nleibert: and I scored another free game! maybe GOG has upped the stock on them or something? I've gotten the last two and now have 6 free games from this promo...I remember at the start I couldn't get any of them at all but now it's easy
Didn't you hear? All the free games are going to bots. You're not fooling us. We know you got no free games. :P

Senteria: Jade empire was a freebie. Didn't get it on time though.
o_O I didn't even see it, lol.
Jade Empire was free before Aquanox? It didn't even show up for me....

kklsid: I might have seen Jade Empire for about half a second.
i manage to see some colores this time :/

Ydrisselle: It's not completely random.

shadowbaneaxe: Ok, so this seems accurate. How far ahead can you predict in what order they will appear?
2 or 3. They are jumping on the list.

wolfsite: I just clicked as Strike Suit Zero hit one and I got Jade Empire Free.............
I've been trying that exact same thing and it still gives me nothing. Glad for you though,
Alright, time for some shuteye. Good hunting to all you guys! keep up the banter :)
if next will be Space Colony HD, I'll call a day on this sale...
$5 left to spend here and $6 worth of games that I want. figures. -_- haha

Yes, I have luck and obtain a free copy.
Common Thief 3 I need to use the bathroom!
Why on earth (and under the sea) is AquaNox selling this slow?

BeorntheBear: TROLL!!!

snowflake3114: He does have a point, though. Delivering free games by limited quantities (even in the hundreds) does infuriate a lot of people who've been here from the start and built up quite a collection hard cash alone. If it was time limited, however... ;)
I think his point makes sense from a initial gut reaction -- just like anything I purchase that later goes on sale or is given away for free *cough* *cough* Amazon.com -- but this is the nature of the market place. We all know that eventually something we purchase for X price will later be sold at a lesser price point. However, we are willing to pay the current market value because possessing X item at that moment is worth the listed cost. There are plenty of games on GOG and STEAM that I did not purchase because the price was too high, so I delayed my gratification and waited until the price dropped to a cost I was willing to pay.

IMHO this is something we need to remember when we feel disappointed or disgruntled about a sale or not being one of the lucky individuals to receive a free game.

I admit I finally got 3 games, but some I didn't even see, like this Jade Empire. I'm not a bot luckily, or I'd be speaking a totally different language :P
