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

xenxander: I will never support Origin. I'm sorry, full retail prices for digital games (mostly)
that's a horrid practice.
They should die in a fire

Knofbath: Eww, Origin...
Haha yeah, that's kinda what I was expecting.

No... You will Stay at that PC until this sale is over mister!!!
Hope this goes fast

Next game has a pretty good chance of being Wing Commander 4.

Must have got the Origin Bundle a while back... :) ....I got them as well and only play the Steam versions (although I think one game was Origin only so I did get an account)

smoother: Geneforge - is it worth buying?
avatar
istudedinre: Yes, yes, yes! Everything from Spiderweb is excellent: Avernum, Avadon, Geneforge... it's all awesome.
avatar
Chevette: Any Spiderweb game is worth buying at these prices.
ok, +1 to my collection ;)
Geneforge is moving slowly.

Maybe its time for coffee.
avatar
Velgor: Agreed. I was just curious at the beginning of the sale, and now, 15 games in, I'm planted in front of my screen ignoring all the work I should be doing with deadlines looming.
avatar
D4N3: How I spent Friday at the office: "I should finish this budget. Meh, they are just going to ignore it anyway. Wonder whats on sale on GOG?"

Rinse and repeat
Yeah, except I work for myself, so it's a bit different. ;) On the plus side, my boss can't yell at me. On the minus side, my wife still can.

Laziter: Populous would do great in my collection :D
Done!
Some people turn on their iTunes while they wait. I pull up Instalok

I should just buy the last couple I want at full price and save my sanity (If you figure a reasonable hourly rate, I am really getting a bad deal this weekend!)

Shendue: You're being unfair to Steam. It's true that when they started the amount of restriction was abysmal, but now the pros far outwheigh the cons. The service has enough benefits for gamers to ignore the fact that we need to use the client. Plus, compare them to every other non-GOG digital download service, and you'll realize they are one of the very few who actually care abouy gamers.
Still DRM. That's like saying that nazi mad scientist gave candies to his patients while the others didn't.
An awful, awful comparison. If anything, it's like having to show your ID when you enter the mall.

It's the kind of unintrusive DRM. You can easily play the games without being online.


Edit: Wow, what happened to the quote? It's all scrambled.
