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

jackster79: Well, since we have to wait for Larry to take his good ol' time, here is something I thought we could use to pass it while we wait:

What GOG game do you already have from GOG do you wished was included in this sale so that others could enjoy it?

cjc7: Dreamfall, The longest Journey
Dungeon Keeper 2, great atmosphere, played it so much during high school.

Never got around playing part 1... but I see the Gold version here... ;)

Dreamfall is beautiful too, is Syberia series on GOG?

olgfara: the "Free Games" has no chance without bots!
I am completely inclined to agree with this. I have no idea how others can react so fast without some kind of assistance. Have bought a number of games already, and I sit there waiting for it to go to the next one, then automatically click to "Buy" the next game, usually going to the sale part. However, the few times it is a "Free" Game on offer, you automatically get told that the deal has expired.
Now, my connection isn't slow, and neither is my PC nor my reflexes, so GOG should really take a look at this., Perhaps give a free game to people who have actually spent money, rather than people just setting up some kind of program to snipe as much as they can for free instead.

Seems poorly thought out to my mind.

Why not - it's a good game, and the price is appropriate, IMHO.
Still, I will make me a sandwich.

Still upvoting your posts, just so you know....
Wait, nevermind, Larry already shifted over 320 copies. Hopefully there won't be screeching now.

Sweet...so if I understand round 1 took a day. round 2, takes a day. Round three, takes a week. Is that what we're looking at here?

It's hard to choose just one ... Maybe, Arcanum, Papers, Please or Eador: Genesis, which have been the last ones I've played.

The classic version is still available for free from the Spelunky website, but the HD version must be bought
