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

Soccorro: Does anybody know how long this Promo will go?
Final round, around half of the games are gone. Till morning, if not until noon if it hits a Keane moment I'd estimate. Most of the slower moving games are gone, though, so it might wrap up early.

EDIT: Then again, I was sure this would be over by yesterday noon so for all I know we could still be here tomorrow!

stan423321: Even so compare that to some other attractions and it did well. 200 Magrunners took at least 2 hours.

Asking again: what will be the next true showstopper?
avatar
CorranHorn: Probably Omerta
Definitely..unless they wisely dropped the number of copies. How many did they have up in second round? (i missed both times it was up oddly...)
I have bought Don't Starve on steam a few weeks ago. I played one game and was not able to do anything except walking around. Is that normal for the first game? I think I might have been able to pick some plant or flower too.

I was only using the mouse, does it uses the keyboard too?

Despite not being able to do anything I also bought it here during an earlier round of this sale because I'm sure the problem is me and not the game.

nijuu: Until games sold at these prices run out..;)
I swear if the next one is thief, ill buy it twice and gift it to someone who didn't make it.

peanutsticks: GOG ever gonna poop out some Linux versions? I want to buy this just like I wanted to buy Rogue Legacy but...
avatar
ObiwanPR: GOG doesn't support Linux. They don't even expect supporting it in a near future.
No, only Windows and Max unfortunately. If you play in Linux, buy at humble bundle.
In about 20 minutes I will need to leave for about 2ish hours, would one of you fine folks be willing to keep an eye out for one of the games I'm after and get it for me if it comes up while I'm gone (I'll find a way to repay the favor in the future).

The games I'm after are:
Ultima 7
Wing Commander: Privateer
Thief Gold

I'm sure I have some unused keys from bundles or previous purchases, I'll have to take a look.
My email is revenile@live.com for the fantastic person(s) that decide to aid me.

Thanks a lot. ^^

HaydenRead: Trying to decide
Don't Starve vs (Jade Empire and Nexus)
$4.99 vs ($2.99+$1.99)
I only have $5 available, so can get one or the other.
Also there is the issue of if I will be near a computer when Jade Empire and Nexus come up....
Jade seems epic, Starve just flashy/novelty. imo

It hasnt

Minmataro: Well... time for a break people, get some food, drink set an alarm for a 1 hour micro nap. this is gonna be at least an hour and change.
An hour? I am thinking this is gonna be 2 or 3 hours to finish.
It's weird that this is selling so slow, because I remember how a lot of people on the forums saying how they were waiting for this. More of a cult classic than something that's popular all over the board?

bell02: why did i have lucius still in my game list when it is already giftet?
That means you had one copy which is your own and a second one which you gifted. Games in your library are yours and can't be gifted.

stg83: I just registered on this website today, and this thread has kept me entertained throughout the day. For all those AAA publishers that think that PC is the hub of piracy should check the number of games sold on this site. Its amazing so many people are buying copies of games which they already own despite the fact that it is DRM free. There is a huge lesson here that many big companies like EA have yet to learn.
exactly! from your lips to god's ears! :)

acarlson412: AGH Don't Starve. I want this so bad but can't afford to buy it. :( If anyone is feeling mighty generous, I'd be eternally grateful. :P But I won't hold my breath.

I really hate being so broke, lmbo.

It's really good. I'd recommend it.

fraien08: I know the feeling of being broke, I've been holding out the last of my money for ages, and I've just spent it on Total Annihilation. Now I'm just hanging around for the frees which I probably have a 0% chance of getting, due to ping :P
That's how I am now. I spent my $1.50 and now I'm sticking around for any freebies and this thread.

Steam supports Linux too i think.
