Limited-quantity deals round-the-clock | Tired-looking sheep.



UPDATE: Time to go to bed, everyone! It's been a fun, intense, coffee-fueled week but the sheep has finally saled on this Insomnia sale so everyone can now get their (hardly needed) beauty sleep. Or go try out those fine-looking games they snagged moments before stocks disappeared. So long and don't let the bedbugs bite. Slay them for precious XP, instead.
Remember to check your email for your unlocked freebies, and you can always contact <span class="bold">Support</span> if there is anthing you're missing.



Don't fall asleep, don't look away… heck, just give up blinking.
Prepare yourselves a cauldron of hot coffee and stock up on eyedrops! Our infamous Insomnia Sale returns with a relentless stream of limited-quantity deals, one game after the other, nonstop until the games run out. Or the sheep doze off.

We've been studying your valuable feedback on this annual event, including comments like "AAAAARRRRGHHHHHH!!!" and "Please, why won't you let me sleep?!".

@j0ekerr: This is a post made by pressing reply and deleting all text. You will get a reply notification for it.
On the other hand, the sticky Galaxy thread has a post with a quote of you. You will not get a reply notification for that post.
Quoting a post will not produce a reply notification, pressing reply will, even if you don't quote anything in that post. Unless that's changed in the last week or so.

This forum is lagging something severe (for me, anyway). I wonder if it's related to game changeover.

Unless they add new games... guess the sale's gonna end pretty soon.


Kinda sad they didn't even offer the Jack Keane games, for nostalgia purposes :P

j0ekerr: Hurm, another oddly numbered deal.
I think we're on the last legs of the sale.
We shouldn't be getting any new games today.
And get TWD while you can.
What I don't understand is why they would have odd numbers in the first place. Who says, "Let's put 476 copies on sale, and sell them 25 at a time, except for the last batch."? Everything has been sold in multiples of 5 up til now.

Leftovers from former batches. Either more than the number of initial copies sold (lots of people hit "buy"), or some of them hit buy but then decided against it, which after some delay should put the games back into the pool.

Our friendly Nordic rep said back at the beginning of the sale that they wouldn't be. He revealed the info because of Jack's special connection to the insomnia sales. ^_^

What if a game had 13 freebies given out? Wouldn't that mean that the last batch would have X-13 copies for sale?
There also appears to be a case where more than the X number of copies per batch could be sold, and it seems like they do remove those from the next batches. So it would appear that the last batch for a game would be the number they have left of their target sales goal.

Which kind of agrees with what I said. This is the oddly numbered remnant.

Why is it odd numbered? Maybe the 4 lacking from the full 80 were given away as freebies. I don't know and can't be sure.
But it's very likely that this is the last time we see the TWD pack.

Freebies aren't pulled from the 'for sale' pool. They are special free codes provided for giving away. Plus, logically it makes no sense. If they pulled free codes from the 'for sale' pool, how could they run out of freebies and still have copies to sell?

That's a very likely possibility, but it could also come from the opposite direction. Since the order ticket stays available for a couple of hours at that fixed price, they could sell more then the stated number of copies.
