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

AGGH missed Rogue Legacy out of stupid. I saw it pop up, then went to another window to look at something else, went back, gone. :(

Ah well my funds are limited atm so I'm gonna go for the three cheapest games on my want list when/if they show up (those being Age of Wonders, Nexus and Septerra Core), and if I can get those I will officially have 250 games in my library! Mostly games I haven't played yet! O digital age... T . T

darkmoment: It would be good if there Fallout series are in this promo
avatar
skeletonbow: Indeed, that's a series perpetually on top of my wishlist purely based on how highly it is spoken of here on the forums. Plus it is leaving GOG in January so it'd be nice to see it on sale deep discounted before then.
What? But why? And what happens to the games from our shelves then?
I'd just like to take a moment to thank HTC for making an awesome phone.

As a result, this promo has not caused me to explode yet =P

Frostyfirefly: Wait a minute... maybe Zeffyr is a robot in disguise O_o

Nesoo: Are you saying that Zeffyr is... a Transformer??
You know, every robot need a battery. And there are two poles in every battery... :D
Since Postal came after Syberia, I wonder if they're now doing things in groups of 5 before jumping around the list. Anyone know what the 4 immediately before Jack Keane were? After that, it went Chaos Engine, Reus, Megabyte Punch, Tex Murphy UaKM, & Populous. If I'm right, it'll be Brutal Legend, Rayman Origins, & Primordia next, and then it'll jump again.

Rights go from Interplay to Bethesda, I think. Bought games stay on the shelf of course.

I'd like to know that as well. I don't keep games downloaded unless i'm actively playing them.
I'm kind of surprised that Postal 2 is going so slowly*... does everyone have it already? I mean, you can run around with your fly undone, scaring people and pissing on them! Who wouldn't love that? ;-)

*Relatively speaking. It's still a flash of lightning compared to JK2.

Yes, purchased games stay on your shelf even if GOG can't sell them anymore. Cryostasis, for example, was removed, but it's still on my shelf.

ToxicCosmos: Is each game showing up twice and that's it?
So far all games have gone through one run. its about 50-60% repeated so far. dunno if which will keep repeating or even if there will be a third time....

gbaz69: I got Assassin's Creed code. Trading for several cheaper games that are on promo:
Thief 2: Metal Age $1.99
Thief 3: Deadly Shadows $1.99
Total Annihilation: Kingdoms $1.49
I may be interested if I can't get Assassin's Creed myself, though I don't know if those games you listed will return again.

If you still have the code when the sale is over and those games haven't shown up, would you be willing to trade it for something else?

I will try & get those games but I'm at work so I can't constantly check the games on sale :(

Oh ok. I see what you meant. *sigh* I'm definitely hoping for another round. *crosses fingers*

I meant when Jack Keane was up for 4+ hours the second go-around, not the first time through.
Could be some are using bots/scripts but that´s probably not the reason why all the Free games vanish in an instant. The server can´t handle all the traffic that happens when thousands of people press the buy button at the same time.
