jepsen1977: I too find the Insomnia sale to be a bit shady. It's meant to take advantage of our desire to want things that are rare by not giving the consumer enough time to research and watch YT vids of the game. You are meant to panic and just buy shit without thinking. It's a cheap used car-salesman trick that I think GOG should be too good for.
There's a bit of that, I guess. But my issue is that if you care about the deals, it's a colossal waste of time.. you literally have to spend days just constantly checking the deals. It doesn't respect people's time. Of course, people have the option to not participate. That doesn't make it a good sale format however.
And then it feels rather unfair towards people who don't get to spend their days glued to a screen. Should we punish people who have a job so hard?
