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

This is such a wonderful idea, I bet that STEAM will "steal" this idea in some of their future promos.

almabrds: I think you're exaggerating. You have more than enough time to decide.

Wishbone: True. I didn't expect "a few of these" to mean "more than 400". That aside, I'm still not sitting glued to the GOG front page for hours on end, even if I will have enough time to decide.
Wrong. SS2 lasts roughly one hour (200 left after 32 minutes). And "time to decide" means getting the news, checking reviews, doing some unrelated activities, coming back to see if impulse-buy-reaction has not faded, etc... "GRAB THIS WITHIN THE HOUR" action sales are the opposite of this. Even supposing you happened to be there at the start of the countdown.

It's all quite a nasty idea.
This is probably the most interesting promo GOG has ever done so far. So, thanks!
:O the bar turned gold!
So, the promo's here, so is the release...

NOW WHERE'S OUR DANCING BEAR????????

Jeez, GOG, always promising more than you can get...

Licurg: If it's something I want, you guys don't buy anything until I post in this thread that I bought it.

mrking58: So that is VR Soccer, Big Rigs (pre-order) and the new Barbie game. Everything else you don't want
You know me so well...
Interesting mix of U.S. and European punctuation.

SS2 cost $1.99.
You save $8,00.

[edit] And it's now fixed.

Can't be more than a few minutes until the next game.

Alternatively we can just check [url=http://www.gogwiki.com/wiki/User:Licurg]this page[/url]. There is no Sacrifice there so I'm pretty damn certain it's your wishlist and not a list of your games ;)

Oh I forgot you need another 10 copies of Sacrifice (the worst game ever)

Well, I mostly thought about games I already knew whether I was interested in or not. You know, games on my wishlist (or which would be on my wishlist if I ever bothered to update it).
good promo - i like it
This promo is a little bit mad. I like it!
