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

I had great plans for this evening but I just realised I've spent 6 hours on my computer with an occasional break to take a piss
Only been looking out for freebies since I'm low on cash. Thus far, I only tried for Psychonauts; was able to click the button the very second it popped up, but got a busy server error, refreshed right away, and ended up not getting it. We're the other freebies like that. Thought I saw Privateer for a slit second, but I have it anyway...

cw8: Wow, it's still going on? I shutdown my computer after Giana Sisters, watched 1 hour of CSI, went to sleep for 5 hours, and 2 hours after that I'm at work.
They had Giana Sisters on?

When?

rtcvb32: That means in the 5-15 minutes it takes to sell they sell $1,496. My god that's a lot of money, got to wonder how much Valve and GoG bank from the games.
30%
Well, the games are repeating, I bought the interesting titles and I already give up about grabing a freebie, then I will hit the hay. Good luck for the insomniacs yet awake.

All of the freebies are the same, unfortunately.

I wouldn't stick around if it's only the freebies you're after. You'll probably end up wasting your time. If you don't enjoy hanging out here to chat, that is :p

7-8 hours ago
i suspect they will be looking at indie pricing. Maybe some of them are overpriced to start with (or just the reality people have got them elsewhere on sale previously)

Yes, pretty much so. At one point today, some of the freebies didn't even appear on the front page before they were already gone, I only found out about some of them in this thread. Not that I expect something for nothing, but it seems to be next to impossible to grab one.

Yep, I remember Giana Sisters as one of the games... It was pretty early on sale, so it should be again.
Is the sale gonna end with RCR? It's taking a while.

israr665: Hey guys do you know if gog will repost any thief games ?

I hope not, I'm just home from work so now I can actually spare some time to just sit here and wait for a deal to pop up. Only bought two games since this started.
I can't say I'm a fan of this sale, the duration is just too short and I am not poor enough that 5.99 -> 2.99 makes this worth it.

That summer sale was the way to go. It's the secret to Steam's success, just steal their model. It's the one thing on Steam that doesn't have DRM.
does anyone have 480 bucks?
