It’s time to brew coffee and stretch your fingers – after a few years of absence, the [url=https://www.gog.com?utm_medium=editorial&utm_source=content&utm_campaign=2022060_summer_sale_gog&utm_term=EN]Insomnia Promo event[/url] is back on GOG! With it arrive the best deals and the exciting anticipation that will drive away your sleep, while also giving loads of fun!

This Summer Sale on GOG is already full of deep discounts, yet we saved the most delicious treats, especially for the Insomnia Promo. How does it work? Starting now, once every 6 hours a new great game will appear here, bearing an insanely deep discount. Right now, you can already see the first title – the best-selling strategy game Frostpunk 85% off!

What’s the catch? Every game appearing during the event will only have 6 hours to catch your attention. After the time runs out, a new game will appear, while the former one will get back on our Summer Sale with the initial, lower discount. The other factor you have to be aware of is the limited stock of Insomnia deals!

So, be on the lookout, because cool titles like Leisure Suit Larry - Wet Dreams Don't Dry and Solasta: Crown of the Magister Supporter Edition are bound to appear at the Insomnia Promo event at some time (when? We’ll just have to wait and see ;)). So, take that caffeine shot and be on the lookout for great discounted games!

Judging by the tags, the next game's gonna be LEGO Batman 3.

CMOT70: Anyway, who's taking bets on the next game in the line? Fantasy, indie turn based. I'm predicting "Slay the Spire".
Ehh, I hoped for that one. But who knows, it's suspiciously still not discounted.

gog2002x: Oh My Gosh, now I gotta log in every 6 hours! (fiddles with phone...goes to alarms...sets up some recurring alarms...4 should do..just need to change the day daily...coffee, coffee, where's the coffee...)
Nope. If you assume that no games will be sold out in 6 hours, you could in theory come online when an offer is close to ending, look at it and the one that is coming up, and then just repeat 12 hours later.

Removing the "no games sell out" rule, you should assume it will still take a few hours for a game to run out. You could pick an offer A at its 0:00 mark, sleep 8 hours and catch offer B at its 2:00 mark. So just plan yourself properly and you can catch all deals without much fuss.

I'm pretty sure they will occasionally drop some really attractive offers that will be sold out in matter of minutes like in old insomnia days too.

DoomSooth: Why is the price changing so often? I've seen it go from $4.49 to $2.24 to $3.70 to $1.80 all in a few minutes. It still says $4.49 when I click "Buy now", though.
I think I hold the answer. I warned the blues a couple hours ago that the announced price for the Insomnia offer was ignoring regional prices. The correct price would appear at Checkout, but not on the Main page.

So they got to fixing it, and true to tradition they apparently tested in Prod :-)

Spectrum_Legacy: If I had to guess, then the decision to go with insomnia deals was made on the fly during this summer sale, probably to boost volumes sold and break the ice so to speak.
Yes, I'm fairly certain you are correct. The issue feels like something arising from an on-the-fly decision.

Spectrum_Legacy: Btw if the price difference with Solasta is considerable, maybe you could consider contacting the support. I'm sure GOG haven't done this to alienate anyone and I for one do hope that these insomnia deals won't be gone for another 6 years or how long it has been.
It's just a few dollars. Not worth the trouble.

I only used Solasta as an example I just came across to illustrate a problem I hope doesn't become the norm with GOG sales. That's my worry... that this becomes common.

(In this specific case, Solasta was on sale, but Solasta Supporter Edition -- which was not in the Summer Sale -- is on discount via the Insomnia deals. Just seems bad form... but that's how it goes.)

OMG yes, so many fond memories of Insommia

I loved the Insomnia sales. So much nostalgia.
I'll try to stay awake

Ahhh, the nostalgia floods over me.
