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

Giltonnam: I've given up on this sale now :/ by the time I click buy and it loads the deal is over (and har har about the freebies, they stopped popping up on my screen altogether, damn bots).
Yeah, I've had the same result - at this point, the 5 seconds it takes me to put in my payment info is apparently too long. They should've worked out some sort of queuing system so that once you click, you've got a reservation for that deal, that only gets revoked if you don't finish the payment screen in say, 5 minutes.
Lucius is selling? C'mon, this ain't real! :D
Not quite as into this as I was a bit ago. When money gets removed but no game shows up and you get an error screen regarding the transaction, it tends to make you slightly gunshy about making more purchases right away.

MrDrWatson: And I missed Primordia again! grrrrrrrrr

dedoporno: I paid for it and I didn't get it. Got the bear instead. Nice going GOG, this is getting frustrating. I don't give a damn about the freebies, but when I pay for the game I expect to have it in my library afterwards.
Cpntact support they will help you
Lucius should give us some time to take a breath.
And I'm saying it as a horror fan.
Thank gawd for bathroom breaks!
well thank you lucius my wallet can have a rest

Neonocyte: It's not all bots; barely snagged free Alpha Centauri. One of the few games I was hoping to grab, too.
You make the human race proud, damn those bots and their vile masters!
If you pay and then get the bear, just refresh - I had it with Jade Empire, came up and refreshed and it went through okay.

Yeah, I'm calling shenanigans.

Fictionvision: I just got the notification e-mail for this sale. Thanks for the early warning GOG!
I got the notification 5 hours into the sale as well. At least I didn't miss anything I was interested in.
Lucius is actually selling.
Are people buying just to get it out of the way?
Seems like a waste of 4 USD to me.

Novotnus: Lucius should give us some time to take a breath.
It didn't.

EDIT: And as soon as I typed that, sales plummeted to a fraction of what they were...

I left for work this morning slightly after wednesday's promo was supposed to appear, sad that it appeared to run late.

Now I see it was a blessing in disguise because I wouldn't be able to get out of my house if I had seen it back then.

Of course, I far from the idea that they won't help me, I'm just a little bit upset about the way this promotion is going. I don't like it one bit! For the last hour I've gotten more and more frustrated about getting the bear constantly...
