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

AttObl: 24 copies of Wing Commander Privateer were free, and they're gone for like, 1 second.
Less.

Site lagged and gone. Not even a bear.
LOL, I barely noticed the free Privateer before it was gone.

Elmofongo: Wing Commander Privateer was free and vanished for 3 seconds.
Less. I clicked on it before knowing what it was. And it was already sold.

lemoribond: Is Prince of Persia (2008) ever getting a sale spot?

I've been sitting here for over 4 hours waiting for it, guys.

I'm kinda unemployed and poor right now, so that would be really cool.
Prince of Persia was just part of a recent weekend sale (60%) off, it'll likely be on sale again but apparently not in this insomnia sale.
To bad that those two add ons "Duke it out in DC" and Nuclear winter are not included
Truth be told: I already have all that stuff. What would happen if I clicked on buy? Would I get a code to send to somebody else?
Free game. And people thought that promo is over...

Bear AGAIN! Noooooooo! ;(
And I'm still waiting for another chance to grab Beyond good and Evil
C'mon free Geneforge.

Quincel: Jesus these deals are a joke. Alpha Centauri + Alien Crossfire for $1.49?! Theme Hospital $1.49?! DEUS EX GOTY $1.99?!!!
Buy many copies to compensate. And then gift them to the unbelievers.

Khalaq: blarg...

Go to work, work hard all day, come home and find I've missed 90+ sales on GOG, many of which were games on my wishlist. Oh, and some of those games I wanted were given away for free, too. Talk about the ultimate "F5 giveaway"...

I think I will now go sit in a corner and compose a lament about my misfortune....

Oh, wait, there's another sale! P
No fear! They are repeating the sales and seem to be releasing them in larger batches! Plus, quite a few people left, so lighter server load. Which is great cause we were crashing the GOG servers like mad.
I actually started clicking before the free game came and also during the free game showing up, but before I was even able to get the free game showing up it showed it already expired. How can it expire before it even shows up on the page. That's not fair. :(

I clicked on it literally the moment it showed up and got the 'sold out' page. At least I actually saw this one. Good luck to anyone trying for a free game.
I've had several moments today where I desperately am clicking to buy a game and then realize at checkout I already have it. Curse you GOG!!!! You see what you are turning into??!
I still haven't gotten around to installing the Duke since GOG gave it away to everyone last Christmas.
