CarrionCrow: You're right. Insomnia mentality on my part. It could be watched sporadically, and not miss anything. But dear gods, that feels extremely detached to me.
madth3: I'd be really interested to know the sales numbers of the games according to the repetitions.
How many buyers are of the kind that login almost everyday, how many are of those that only come for the sales, or that have been away and came for this one. I'm sure the latter kind rarely (maybe never) posts in the forums but they might be buying anyway.
I am one of the people that has been on the website for a while and I try to check the site as often as I can. I personally don't care for the insomnia sale because I cannot sit here and watch every 15 minutes to see what comes next. While in the last insomnia sale I managed to catch a couple things I wanted, I also missed a couple due to the inability to monitor GOG, like watching over a child's every move. I also rarely participate in the forums, but have made some posts when I felt it appropriate.
While admittedly slower paced, I like the speed of this sale. I have managed to pick up one game that I have wanted for a while because I wait for sales. I am a frugal person with a family to support and future plans that require money. Therefore, I save where I can and GOG has provided that avenue for me in the games department.
End note to those that make the lists of games available and have the time to track everything in these sales, "good job". This has been very helpful over the sales I haven't missed.
