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

Travanoid: Nope, it's upcoming.
damn, then my prediction was wrong!
But the Thief still hasn't shown himself, right?
Any freebies in between?

Kaitu: My suggestion was to have each freebie show up for 5-10 seconds with a fixed number available. After the window, they randomly distribute to those who entered. Those who don't win get an extra "entry" in the next freebie they try for. That way, if you miss one, you have a better shot at the next one. Once you finally get one, your entries reset to one and you start over.
Also seemed unfair that some apparently got multiple freebies, while so many got none at all. Maybe next time, they should just display some links/buttons on the mainpage, a different one each day, and whoever clicks every single one gets to pick a free game at the end of the sale. That way people are encouraged to check the sale at least once per day, and at the end everyone gets a freebie, without the "luck" and frustration involved in the current freebie system.
300 copies and its creepin'. Could be a looong wait at this pace.

How long has Spellforce been up? Could we be looking at a potential RCR contender?

It's all gone except for Psychonauts (and Keaneforce).

Thief is gone, Thief 2 is gone, even Thief 3 is long gone. No more thiefs to be found.

It sounds good. Another of my thoughts was there could be a weighting based on wishlists - if somebody has just one game on their wishlist they could get a high chance of winning because it's the one they really want, but if another person has 20+ games wishlisted they wouldn't get any extra chances.

On the other hand, maybe for GOG it's better that winners get games they wouldn't normally buy, because they can experience new things and may get hooked whilst continuing to buy their favourites.

344G

I still haven't downloaded Brutal Legend. that will add about 8G.

thepatt: I'm hoping the "keaning" (and derivatives) enter regular usage in the 'real' world.

keane - verb.

1. to take way, way way longer to finish than expected.

2. to be momentarily unpopular.
avatar
GabiMoro: Could be used as a noun too: "Man, this was such a keane". Funny thing, the word "keane" is pronunced exactly as the romanian word "chin", which means "torment, pain , agony".
The English homophone "keen" is to make a high-pitched wail, usually of mourning ;)

Oh darn. I'll have to rely on whoever said they were going to get me a copy then.
Will my collection remain incomplete?
Will my extra copy of NWN Diamond rot on the shelves?
Will I get another code to give away?
