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

Bunnle: Developers like those of Anodyne that are eagerly following this thread must feel so depressed when they find out their game sells at the pace of a snail.
I honestly feel sorry for Keane's developers.

nicosilver: oh man, i tossed in on anodyne, i wonder if ive made a grave 3.00 mistake. i headed to bed after the first 20 minutes of jack keyne last night, did it really stay up for five hours?
Yes.

And do look at Jack Keane 2's newfound reviews.

They should not be depressed, selling these games is always based on the opinion people have on it. I liked it.

EckoShy: Guys, Anodyne is taking a while, but Shadow Man was way worse.
Haaa, you don't know Jack... Jack Keane 2 was the slowest of them all - to sell 100 copies took more than 4 hours...
If everything was set to loop again they might just do a mercy killing of the promo after Startopia to keep the forum from totally imploding.

suitata: I've bought all the game I wanted plus many more, and i have somewhere to be.

Why do i care so much about whats next??!
The same reason some people have sat here for hours on end waiting for deals to pop up.
Serious amounts of multi-level compulsion.
Its amazing. 12 hours later and the Seige of Jack Keane is still being felt.
bought anodyne on impulse as well to get it moving

Buenro-games: I hope I at least get the 10,000th post and win the free games GOG is going to give away. Someone posted that earlier.

Kaitu: Still no confirmation of that though.
Random strangers are totally trustworthy! They can't lie because they have to follow Jack Keane sales otherwise (without sleep of course)!!!

It depends too on how many people have it. I would have gotten it... But I already own it.
My name is Keane.
Jack Keane.
Agent in GoG secret's services :D
So sleepy... so poor judgment. I have likely bought too much.
