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

Uzur9: The Enhanced Edition comes out Friday. Not a GOG release but just a heads up.
Hm, is there any chance that GOG's version will be improved to Enhanced one?

Elmofongo: Spellforce looks kinda like its using Warcraft 3's engine...
It's not, but it's an RTS game from 2003 :) It was pretty standard look at that time.

Awesome series... but I will not buy it tonight. Only later, with all of the other Spellforce games :D
What time does the sale end tomorrow in GMT?

Hi,

I'm very new to gog and buying digital copies of games and i'm finding this a little confusing....

So it's just a wait and see what pops up kind of deal?

Only one game on offer at any time and that has to sell out before they move to the next one randomly?

Is that about it?

What if one game doesn't sell out - does it stop cycling through?

BTW - When games are on sale and they list the discounted price - is there someway to tell what the regular full price was/will be again also?

Cheers

I've heard the 'enhanced' version is buggy and not as good as the unofficial patches/mods that were done to the original one.

Hmm I dont see why they coulnd't put it on here. I doubt it though sadly.

nijuu: HOMM3 did slow down a tad
Not enough for me, I missed getting it and I don't have the expansions.

Discount + what u save = original price. They are repeating i suspect due to different timezones...so everyone gets a fair chance

Welcome to GOG :D this is probably the worst sale to join us in as your first in terms of confusion. To answer your first four questions: yes. Last one, go to the game's page :D search it in the top right by the magnifying glass and click the game when it comes up.

Again, welcome :)

Edit: Or, while the sale's running, look at the percentage it tells you that the game is slashed by, and do a little calculation.

Oh that's a nuisance for planning, someone a few pages back said it was ending tomorrow.

This is a special sort of sale.

Most sales here are weekend promotions that last three days. The ones cycling now are first come first serve for today.
