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

skeletonbow: ...
Supply and demand, maybe, but they only shifted 240 units between two sales, 140 the first time and 100 the second, plus that lightning round freebie just after the second sale period. That hardly compares to the numbers for most other games sold during this flash sale.

I can't personally speak to the game's quality, but Cognition and Divinity: Dragon Commander both outsold Jack Keane 2 I'm all but sure in terms of quantity and most definitely in terms of speed, with both comparably priced or, as was the case for Dragon Commander, more expensive.
Great, at this rate it's becoming Leisure Suit Larry presents: Rise of Omerta: Shadowkeane of Anodyne.

On the other hand, maybe Rogue Legacy will be here again, soon. Or I have no mouth.
Since forum access is getting problematic and I'm sleepy, here is +1 to 10k, then I'll call it a day.
Bought 7 games, 0 freebies, and nearly nothing left for the Christmas sale...

It was fun watch the progress meters fly through (almost) each game and flipping through 300+ pages of this thread, thank you for the laugh, and sleep well :)

It's just you. We're rushing at lightspeed right now... at least compared to the legendary JK2 debacle... ;-)

OgNimaeb: I just want my Rogue Legacy so I can die in peace. I slept only 5 hours, but between that, work and some scant meals, I managed to miss all the instances.
i wish You well. i even wish You Free Rogue Legacy.
They should finish the sale with a single copy of Jack keane 2, just to see how long it lasts.
So a little more than 200 post until 10,000 posts on this thread. Has that ever been done before?
Triad Troll !!!!
And new games as reward after the second round ? :(

I believe it's over.

Heavy traffic? The whole site seems to be spluttering.
Can anyone confirm on Twitter were iy was posted that the 10,000th post gets 10 free games from this promo? Someone told me that is where it came up but I can't find it. I want that 10,000th post!

Although this board is giving me problems. Also getting kuma-san carrying the world in here as well.

moonshineshadow: Hmm... so there seems to be a round 3.. hope there is some Don't starve soon or some Jack Keane 2 since I need some sleep :D
Rise of the Triad isn't much better...was slow in the last round as well
