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?!". We took them to heart and decided that what you guys are saying is that you need more gaming stimulants to fight away sleepiness. Worry not, we're here to help.

You lucky Insomniacs will also be treated to a number of games never before seen on GOG.com as well as the best-ever deal on our crowning jewel - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (-50% after the recent price drop, that's $24.99 in the USA).


If you want to learn more about the intricacies behind this whole science of non-sleep, check out the promo <span class="bold">FAQ</span>. But don't dally there too long, because games will start disappearing before your bloodshot eyes!

The GOG.com Insomnia Sale starts Monday, March 21, 2:00 PM GMT and will run until the limited-quantity deals run out.

Starmaker: How do I get a refund?
avatar
elgonzo: Dito. Saw ShadowRun HongKong for 4.69 Euros, and clicked the "Buy" button.
Stupid me, instead of checking the item again in the basket (i just glanced at the price, which was okay), i just went on with ordering. And so i ended up with "The Swindle", which i only noticed in the confirmation email.

What? Then i checked this thread and realized that i have been fooled by the broken web frontend for the sale.

Going to contact support for getting a refund now... :(
Just explain your situation, you'll get your money back.

Oh no, oh god no.... I just paid my credit card off last week, so its wide open to be filled with games....

The only way for me to buy games without using my existing store credit is to purchase the game via the game page. Got Harry Potter 1-4 in my basket, checked out at £3.49 and by the time the payment went to Paypal it was back to £13+ WTF? I thought if it was in your basket it was reserved at the proce shown? It's bad enough I have to race for the game page every time I want to buy something but this is ridiculous. It's taking all the fun out of the sale. :-(

wait, i have a free hong kong

edit: by which I mean don't buy another Hong Kong. Do get a refund.

I actually miscounted by emails. I bought Hong Kong and got another one as a gift but mistakenly thought I bought it as my 11th game (since the gift email arrived earlier than the purchase email. Turns out it was the 10th game (so, I got 2 copies of the same game with my 10th purchase -- which sucks, but almost everything does, so whatever).

The thing that made me stick around for the last insomnia sales was the chance to get a free game for every new sale and maybe buy a few games along the way. There's no way I'm going to buy 10 games to get a game I probably don't really want. I haven't bought 10 games in a single GOG sale, have most of the things I want already.

I'm getting too old for this, but I know a lot of people have been waiting for it for some time now. Good hunting!

I don't think I've ever bought 10 games in a sale before. I Don't think I'm going to get there at these discounts especially.

I hear you. This technical glitches are no fun. And it is the same story every sale/release. And the fact you cannot click to the game pge from the picture is a negative for me too.

I always like these special sales and this is always cool to wait for the games and in the meantime come here and talk - but this time I rarely even get to see the picture of the actual game in question, before it is already sold out...

So no sale for me this time... oh well. But fingers crossed for all the other "hunters" out there - go get 'em, boys 'n' gals :)
