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

Buenro-games: Is that Nexus game like a sinlge player EVE Online or something?
avatar
itchy01ca01: Hmm.. It is like EVE but without the multiplayer. It's mostly ship-to-ship combat. Homeworld-type. It's not a 4X like Sins. The graphics and the engine they use for the ships is amazing though. Not for everyone but for anyone wanting to captain a starship with realish physics, it's pretty cool.
Sounds great, which I knew. Definitely getting for Xmas sale then. I always wanted to play EVE but am too old to deal with that community. Great to discover new games like this.

It shows all the DRM free games in a list at the least.

HaydenRead: Bother catch a couple of hours sleep, come back and I have missed Nexus :-(
Same happened yesterday with the other game I wanted, Rogue Legacy :-(
Rougue Legacy is on Humble Bundle Store, don´t know if they have a DRM-free version of it though if that is an absolute must for you. The price is $7,49

Can't help you with Rouge Legacy, but for Nexus, look to your PM
While we wait, you can enjoy watching the Playstation 4 Pulsating Blue Light of Death. : D

Man, I'm tired and bored. : /

Stooner: What is a "sobriquet"?
avatar
Gunsik: it is something like nickname. for example Alexander the great or Bloody Mary. contest is over but i would gladly here Your sobriquet too.
Thanks for the explanation, but I don't think I could come with something good that fast anyway... (and if it was longer, probably would make no difference too.. ;p)
Dear insomniacs, maybe you can get that game you missed here: http://www.gog.com/forum/general/thank_you_for_being_awesome_giveaway/page1

Khalaq: So how many people (thus far) were waiting for Nexus and missed it?
Maybe a bit, but it wasn't one I was really aware of until the chatter on this thread so I can't feel bitter about it. I'll just have it on my wishlist and keep an eye on the next promos, so it kind of feels like a win anyway - since the promo started and I've been following the thread I've discovered a few games that I might like to try at some point.

For that alone I think the promo has been great success, and despite all the complaints about possible bots and scripters, it is kinda fun trying to grab freebies when the counter gets to zero. This whole thing is much more fun than Amazon's Black Friday Lightning deals :)

At least pulsing blue light of death is calmer than pulsing red light of death.
