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

Still, over 1600 copies in... maybe 7 minutes? isn't bad.

Soccorro: Anyone else out there, who is tired but cannot sleep because this promo is makes him hope for a game he might want?

Faeja_Vu: Yup, but I've just about given up all hope. There's no way I'll be able to pull another all-nighter just to get my game.
*Weakly raises hand and reaches for another energy drink*
C´mon GOG now "ten millions" of NWN2... I´m not so stupid...

Nods
Finally got NWN2, only need Theme Hospital now
If NW1 is around I might buy it at that price just for convenience's sake/compatibility. :I The exchange rate is heavily in Europe's favour right now.

No plague? Aww man.

I dunno... 1600 copies in two minutes is a pretty good clip. Now we just have to wait for those who haven't yet noticed which game is up for sale.

Dude, I'm dying here. I kind of feel crazy for doing this but hey its a up to 80% promo.

Kaitu: If you combine Eador, BoUT, Thunderscape & Divinity's last runs, you are looking at under 2,100 copies and that took around 16-18 hours.
It pains me to see Eador get such a bad rep because of this expensive 3D remake. Eador:Genesis is the best fantasy 4x ever, and I do not say this lightly. I played the best ones alot and decided this after hundreds of hours with all of them.

rconstantine: Anyone else slightly annoyed when a less popular game got things stuck for hours? I added a wishlist item about it with some suggestions. I'm too new to post links, so head over to the wishlist and search for "insomnia" under the site features list. If you like the suggestions, comment and vote!

stan423321: GOG isn't ignoring this. At least from some point, the number of discounted licenses was adjusted to the speed of those flying off. Sometimes however the first sale flew off and satisfied the need, so you can't go perfect with it. For example, the first or second ROTT sale has gone away in alright time. Then at the third batch, not many people wanted it anymore, and the batch seemed to be bigger than previous ones.
Im sure they have taken all comments on board. After all.. Jack Keane only had 25 copies supposedly third time around...:D

The Jack Keane 2 sale rocked the house, dude. Totally flashed everyone.
