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

Thanks!!
Sent you your copy of Alpha Centauri, Blaz. Check your email.

Even if I can't get the games I want, I can at least help someone else score. )

honx: this free order-thing is totally unfair!
you need to be fucking rich and you need to have a ultra-fast internet connection to get a free game!

Patejl: I don't thing so, this is mostly about ping and how close you are to GOG's servers, polaks have much better chances to win i guess. I have pretty fast connection 120/12Mbtps, but with my 14ms ping it's impossible even when i click in first moment when free game is displayed (0,2s - 0,3s).
I am in Finland and had no problem getting some of the free games

trebor8273: i hope this is the last lot of repeats and the sale ends, if they do another repeat and increase the amount of games in sales can see us being here for weeks. imagine how long a 1000 copies of jack keane 2 would take to sell out!
I imagine *if* there is a third run it might be a small encore of the best sellers in smaller numbers for people who missed out.... thats what i would do. too many copies and it will be sloooooow

you would leave at 1000 copies, go to sleep, return after 8 hours and see 932 copies left LOL
Somehow people bought 50 copies of Jack Keane 2 overnight.

First for everything.

Nope :D
The great thing about the whole Jack Keane thing was that it was free 15 mins after its promo ended
Alpha Centauri and the expansion for $1.49 > free Rogue Legacy.

Briareos262: Ya forgot to mention Rogue Legacy, though it was a freebie and almost impossible to get.
avatar
mrking58: Almost impossible?
congrats on the snipe. I still stick with what I said tho, The freebies are a very very small minimal amount of chance for most people to get. So yes near impossible still ^_^

That's good to hear. Or not, it also means staying in front of the computer waiting again.
