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

It would be nice, if they set a timeout for their sales.

It makes no sense to sell them so slowly.

nijuu: they probably on midnight early morning break ;)
I'm certain they are taking advantage of this lull same as many of us are. :)

Guess I did need to clean the kitchen today.....
It's been 41 minutes guys, can we see the next game?

Agreed. Or they could put up 2 or 3 games simultaneously and keep replacing them based on their own counters.
Looks like I'll have time to download all the games I got and updated today before this promo ends.
Man this is worse than RTC3 . So slow
*time to check out the release for today*

caledhel: This is almost as bad as Roller Coaster Tycoon 3

Flam3crow: Except the game is almost as good as Roller Coaster Tycoon 3.

Moral of this sale: This community hates modern games.
Not entirely, Expeditions: Conquistador and Shelter sold out pretty quickly. But it does seem that the older ones generally sell faster than the newer indie ones.

I haven't seen an old game sell this slow.

I say it is because RCR is over priced to begin with. if it was 9.99 with 75% of sale it would be a lot quicker I say.
I even traded for this game earlyer... or else I'd buy it now.

Agreed. Always thought it was $5 too much. Plus the lack of an OS X port.

I think a lot of people waiting must already have it. One copy of RCR is all I need.
Slowed down to a crawl. This may be the slowest sale so far.
All this waiting.
The next game better be worth all this waiting!
