Jack is Life! Jack is Love! The Keaning is happening!

Most sales are just that: some nice deals, tons of games, some flowery marketing talk about those deals. Nothing more, nothing less. As you know, last year we ran our Fall Insomnia Promo with the usual expectations that follow a typical sale.

The Insomnia Promo was different. Very, very different. It morphed into something beyond our wildest expectations. Entire communities were staying awake for this sale. The RPG Codex was busily snapping up and all classic RPGs. 4chan's very own /v/ put aside their usual bickering about which console was best and started trying to find The Pattern (sorry guys, you didn't crack it :^) ). Meanwhile, Jack Keane acquired a cult following (JACK IS LOVE! JACK IS LIFE!) all the while collecting a flurry of 5 star reviews where gamers documented all sorts of miraculous manifestations of Jack's blessing in their lives. Lastly, the Insomnia promo garnered its own entry on our [url=http://www.gog.com/wishlist/site/the_return_of_the_insomnia_sale]wishlist.

Welcome to our Spring Insomnia Sale! Back by popular demand*, we will be putting up 100 games in limited quantities** with discounts up to 90%. We'll have more games for sale than Noah had animals in his ark. Indies. Classics. Classic indies, even. All kinds of games for all kinds of gamers. However, you have to be fast, faster than those Polish script kiddies*** lurking outside our offices so they can get 0.1 ms of ping!

We did change things up a bit this year. While checking out, keep an eye peeled for a random chance to get a free game. Yes, this time there will be no more split second freebies so everyone has an equal chance :)

*why would you do this to yourselves, you mad fools?!?!
**yes, we know that all games are being distributed digitally and quantities can be infinite, just roll with it, ok?
***it was a common theory that all the free games were being snatched up by Polish hackers. We don't have any hackers here in Poland, we deported them all...somewhere...

yyahoo: Just to be clear, there's no guarantee it will be on sale in the Summer Sale

Cyril79: And when starts the summer sale ?
Who knows? I don't think we've had a "Spring Sale" in the past, so that might delay a "Summer Sale" this year anyway...

I know, but I can wait even till the winter sale+.
I bought just so many games at the sale already. Also I would like to start with the first one not the second Syberia part.

In the past it's generally been timed to begin shortly before the Steam Summer Sale...

There's two daily sales every week as well as a weekend sale. In the past six months, there's been a Winter Sale, a Fall Insomnia Sale, a Time Machine Sale, a St Patrick's Day Sale.... And a Summer Sale surprises you? Just sayin'...

That is something only GOG knows, Steam and GOG usually has it it at the same time with a week or two apart. Around jun-july
