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

keeveek: Paople fighting over games, that can be... interesting :D
Indeed. I can just imagine flamewars flaring up very soon.

I have a feeling that this promo is going to rank almost as high as the shutdown stunt on the "bad idea" scale.
!!!! I just pulled an all nighter! now im being asked to do it again... welp this could end very badly...

tinyE: Is this gonna be like that Dork Vince with his infomercials who keeps telling people, "Only for the next twenty minutes because we can't do this all day!"

I don't mind the slant but if I miss "limited copies" of a game I really want to some ninja/scalper who is going to buy them all and then go into classified to trade them for full priced games.....THEN I'LL BE PISSED.

JudasIscariot: Sometimes the fact that you can't buy multiple copies all at once is a blessing :)
Oh, I missed that detail. Thanks Judas. :D
Nice promo, pity it's limited though, I'd grab a few games for giveaways and such otherwise.
HAHA great idea! How often will new games pop up? Once an hour? Once the previous game will be sold out?

Shame I don't have my CC on me :-(
This might be a good idea, but under one condition - if the game runs "out of stock", it should still be avilable for sale with a discount, but lower. Currently, System Shock 2 is 80% off. Maybe after selling all copies, lower the discount (for example to 40%) and countinue selling, but this time without limits, as always.
Alright! now this is what I'm talking about!

Deals with huge discounts and a limited timeframe, Great promo, GOG!
Weird concept. This promo is certainly not for me.
Would have preferred the dancing bear instead of this promo...
Just kidding :P

Once the game's "sold out" then the next one comes up :)

Dude... They're selling games at 80% off... What the hell more do you need ?!?!?

Let's turn GOG promos into a competition !

Let the nerdiest glued-to-screen-all-day win !

Let's focus on impulse buying, because 24h allows for too much dangerously cool-headed deliberation !

Will it make lots of money ? YES ! So let's do it again !
I already have sleep problems that I'm trying to break. This is like telling a recovering alcoholic there's an 80% off beer sale down the road.
