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

Great, now it's glitching out for me. Every time the card flips over for a new game it turns invisible and I have to manually refresh the page for whatever sale it is to show up.

jamotide: No, customer oriented means providing good DRM free service. It does not mean not trying to make as many sales as possible.
That's only part of it. There's things like respecting the customer, and this show no respect at all, you're expected to wait for a sale that you want and then you have little to no time to make an informed decision because the deal will end soon. I found this sale more stressful than any sale I've ever done. There's many better options that have respect for customers. I use GoG because I thought they respected me, but this is a bad sign that they don't.

Ludi: "some" free games oO
avatar
Alexrd: Yes, plural.
hmm with the quantity of the free games this is amazing

Scorpionscythe: Kind of the point. Why only have 8 free copies when there are thousands. Kind of pointless. No one has even a slim chance of getting something. It's worse than a door buster on Black Friday.

npalsensei: Because that's the sales rules? Surely you don't expect to start giving out all these games for free right? If anything, it's nice that a few lucky people can get something for free. It's like a lucky draw contest if anything. If you're lucky, yay you, if you're not, oh well.
Actually it's NOT like a draw, because in a draw all have the same same probability to win, here not so much.
ffs, all the free deals just dissapear. There is no way regular users grab them that fast
Yay, grabbed FEZ!

hedwards: That's it, I give up. I clicked immediately, and half of them were already gone. I don't care how good the deals are, this is ridiculous. If I have my mouse hovering over the button and click immediately, I should have at least some chance of getting the game.
If 1000 people are doing the same, then you have 0,1% chance. If 10000...
You probably have a better chance of being struck by lightning :)

Vestin: Well... There goes Heroes 5.
What???
God some moaning baby's on here, boo hoo I missed free game, boo hoo it's now on sale it should be free. Stop spitting your dummy's out
even if i click it the second it pops, they are gone by the time the browser wants to load anything lol
I suggest next time GOG do not provide any freebies at all, too much whining going on because they missed out.
Baldur's Gate: The Original Saga 80% off
Baldur´s gate at 80 %....an is already gone!
Take five, everyone. Omerta is up.
