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

The Wrath of Keane?
If there were another insomnia sale I would likely fail all my classes.
I have to say that I got almost nothing productive done that whole week... It was oddly addicting to keep checking the site.

Just do what I told someone the other day.
Tell your teacher that the GoG ate your homework. :P
And now when I'm completely skint due to the Insomnia sale...GOG mocks me with about 5 games on sale that I want, but now cannot afford.

Why doth thou mock me so, oh GOG?

Hopefully if it is done again it will be during the Christmas holiday as usually by then classes are over, in which case you can spend as much time on the thread as you like while glued to the sale page to make sure you do not miss out on anything.

Edit: of course, that would be the case for all college students, but for a relatively old geezer like myself, I doubt I could handle such a thing again so soon. Only reason I think I was able to recover this time is because it was at the start of a week-long vacation, and thus the impact of the sleep deprivation was minimal.

Getting games in a sale is good fun,

playing the games you got is a much better allocation of time...

and,

there are other Threads here in the Forums to occupy your time, to fill the void, so to speak. ;)
So in the end what happened with the sale, were there any last minute events or something?

Don't expect any official statistics.

I don't remember any sale's statistics presented publicly on GoG.com.
I suppose the same is going to happen this time.
They're business data in the end.

wrathsinger: Slept right through HoMM3 and Jade Empire sales, so I decided to grab the latter at Steam, as someone said it was on sale there.
So I looked Jade Empire up, found it (at a reduced price indeed!) and logged in to buy it. Well... that was the moment I was reminded of certain advantages GOG has over Steam.
JE wasn't on sale in my region. In fact, it wasn't available in my region at all. Instead they offered a reduced price on... well, another game.
