As far as I know they are not using a downloader at all from now on. You simply use the website to buy, manage and download your games.

Dear me, that's awfully simple, but what's their security then? that leaves them awfully exposed to pirating, i mean, they have fallout 3 and tomb raider underworld there, hot stuff that is all of the sudden the weakest link in pirating because of GG.

I'm guessing that the downloaded games are wrapped in security much like they were with the downloader, so when running or installing the game the first time you'll have to enter the serial for the game.
The GG download was just a downloader, it did not do any sort of specific extra anti-pirating features, you only needed it to download and install not to run the game. I think
