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

fuzzybunny566: I just found about this sale a minute ago and it freaked me out when i saw the RCR quantity-left bar just shrink from 400 to 129 almost instantly...made me think it was literally selling that quickly.

shadowbaneaxe: The scary part is some games actually are selling that quickly. Well, almost.
The 1,400 copies of NVWN 2 going in like a minute was pretty amazing 0.0

caledhel: This is almost as bad as Roller Coaster Tycoon 3
Except the game is almost as good as Roller Coaster Tycoon 3.

Moral of this sale: This community hates modern games.

The sad part is that a game like RCR isn't. It makes more sense on niche games or higher priced titles.

Yep that and NWN2 1000 and 1400 copies respectively. Classic games sell...

The niche/expensive games should be put out in lesser numbers than they currently are. 150 or so would be sufficient.
:D wathing tv is great way to pass the time.
If you guys want, you can stream some free tv in a new window, that way you can all ways see the game sale counter :D.

hate is a bad word. But you might be right. Indies are indies. Probably priced too much as well.
You just know the last 50 copies of RCR will take HOURS......
