Would it be possible to buy it now, then hold off on the install until the securom gets taken out? Like, is there a limited amount of time I have to install after I purchase, or can I wait as long as it takes for the non-securom version to be available?
You can install/reinstall your games on Steam at any time on any computer (apart from any extra DRM activation issues) - but it may be a long time (even years) before they remove SecuRom, if they ever do, and by that time the game will no doubt cost less than $20.
