These are going surprisingly slowly. C'mon people, speed it up, let's see what is next.

Ugh, this Alan Wake pool was way too large. No one is buying now so it is stagnant.

What is interesting is that you can estimate how much money is being made. They had 400 copies of Alan Wake and only sold 250 so far. That is only $500 total that is passing through the site in the last hour or two. It gives you an idea of how little game purchases are actually going on. In some cases, like King's Quest, they sold their batch in minutes. But this shows the site stalling and making hardly any money. They can't pay for too much with that, it isn't like they make 100% profit, they have to pay the publishers for the games too out of that money.

@scottalanmiller those are probably mostly loss leaders for them. They get new people to register, people buy other non-sale games while they are there.
-
@Nic maybe but the way that the insomnia sale works it encourages you not to shop but to just wait.

@scottalanmiller only for those of us that are rational. Most people aren't

Even irrational, I think that they stare at the screen watching the count down.

Hey. I resemble that remark.
