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

Somehow, I feel like I was in this kind of situation before.
You know. The situation that we were so exhausted but kept telling ourselves "One more turn, One more turn".

binn05: 5 more games until Jack Kane 2, guys.
Brace yourselves
Hope so, can finally take a break then. It managed to get me to bed last night, still, it forced itself upon me as a freebie when I woke up =P

Artificer: Well, I'm sorry you feel that way but the vast majority of people posting on this thread have been loving the sale, in spite of its issues so please leave the insults aside. Most of the people enjoying the sale are, in fact, "normal people" and not "13 year old impulse buying monkey children" as you suggest. I will avoid making any comparisons between your petulant tone and your own age but feel free to draw your own conclusions.

Fuma: Lovely that you enjoy it, but please tell me, how am I to take part if I have a job and life?
Yes, yes "insomnia!!!!!" but as far as promos go it's bollocks. Steam once did 4 hour sales and people were angry at that so all sales now are 24 hours or longer.
If I want a cheaper game I just need to stay in front of the GOG page and keep clicking like a monkey as fast as possible once a good game shows up? That's unreasonable and only people who do not value their time feel this promo is fun. It's annoying. It rewards bots. It's a brilliant marketing hype strategy, but for normal people who can check the page 1-2 times per hour it's just annoying that whoever has a macro bot gets the good deal.
Well, it is marketing. And if it is true that they could offer better deals by limiting the number, it means it was either this, worse deals for a certain amount of time, or put all current offers up at once, this last scenario meaning that the most sought after ones would be gone in moments, even before most people ever heard of the sale, much less manage to look through the list to spot them, and that'll be that.
As for the job part, it can be argued that people who use the time to make money can afford to buy the games at higher prices, while the rest are given opportunities to spend time instead of money.
I'm off for an hour. Who can grab a copy of BG2 for me?
