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

almabrds: I doubt. :/

Vitek: I am of the opposite opinion. I think if you click Buy Now button when there are still some copies available then you can take your time and enter order details without hurry.
You are wrong, because I just tried to buy Rogue Legacy, but I wasn't fast enough.
Now it could be a bit slower with 50% discount... but only 50 games so on the other hand...
Magrunner 50% off = toilet break time.
Those who missed U-VII for free (probably everyone) and don't own it, go buy it anyway.

rickrolled: you needed like an APM of 300 in order to have gotten it...i was on the homepage, about to move my mouse, and it was gone.

oigroig: i took it
sorry, i was replying to the Ultima VII deal...apparently too slow to reply to the right post as well lol
Wohoo! Magrunner, that's the one I was waiting for. Now I can turn off the computer, I guess. :D

Although it's probably the same deal we'll get in the Holiday Sale, but still.

Only if your already sitting on it.

Cheaper here in Brazil

maddNeal: I've noticed several games listed as %66 off, but it says the sale price is $.499 (down from $10). That's not even %51.
You have saved 10 bucks, not that the original price is 10, so it is 66%.

I own it, but I can never make up my mind if I want to play 4-6 first, or just skip them and play VII first.
Shelter and Populous: The Beginning so far were both on sale and for free.
Maybe more of the freebies are also part of the pool of games in this promo?
50% is not a great deal, honestly. That's pretty much the standard discount, and with winter sale coming up...

MichiGen: Oh Magrunner, really great game. Probably the best "portal clone" kind of game. Certainly better than QUBE.
I don't generally like being so reductive, but I would agree that it's probably the best "portal clone" (ugh, I feel dirty for typing that).
It's fun watching the bar going to zero, but then it might also create a lot of disappointment for those who come too late for whatever reason. These people might be a bit angry at GOG and rightly so, because well the more sales the higher the discount should be, not the less sales, the higher the discount. The explanation in the promo text is probably pure bullshit but whatever it is, it's also the right of GOG to do whatever they want.
