If you would read my response again in full, you should notice that it doesn't install SecuROM, but only creates a bunch of dormant files and that registry entry. :) Unless any other game actually installs SecuROM (one that "works"), these files serve no purpose other than existing and being a waste of drive space.

In any event, we've got a workaround in the works, which will hopefully put your minds at ease.

Don't worry, I'm a blue. I'm indestructible!


And our workaround will make sure these files and entries don't stay there, and without jeopardizing a previously-installed SecuROM's files (if the user already had it, because of some other games). :)

Check here.

Or a repost, if you prefer to read here:

As we've previously said, the files are a remnant of old DRM that is no longer active.

They serve no actual purpose, but their removal in a way that would keep all of the game's functionalities intact and stable would be a lot of work. Our tech team is currently swamped with other tasks (i.e. launching a ton of games, the GOG Galaxy project, preparations for the The Witcher 3 release, an much, MUCH more we can't reveal yet).

Since this is *not* DRM (as it does not in any way lock the game), but instead a simple inefficiency in how drive space is used, it's not a top-priority issue at the moment - however, it is one we do plan to fix and there will be updates when we do have updates to share. :)
