When trying to install this one I'm getting a trojan warning. AVG says it contains an IDP Trojan.

Im guessing it's a false positive?

However, Im more alarmed as to why it shows up as a trojan. Does the game collect datas and whatnot it will send to the publishers?

Can anyone tell me whats going on here?

it's probably a false positive, but to be sure best upload the file to some online scanner that has many antivirus programs to check it.

try http://virusscan.jotti.org/en for example.

Yeah, pretty sure it's false positive.
Here's another virus scanner (with more AVs) - https://www.virustotal.com/

As to why it gets detected, that's hard to answer. In general AV does the detection in a number of ways. Recognizing the file itself by hash, code analyses, behavior when running and over time. Sometimes it means nothing but that the game/program tried to write some in directory or register the AV didn't like.

I assume you meant the use of a cracked .exe being a risk? If it was a cracked .exe ofcourse you could never be 100% sure.

I've run the gog.exe for s2-10th through a certain scanner that usually tells you about the protection used or the crack, this method also brought to light steam used cracks on certain games. But it doesn't pop up as a known crack would:

Then I got a no-cd crack for the game to compare the result and got this:

At least it doesn't look like a known crack would. But like I said, you can never be 100% sure.
Even if they just took (some of) the protection away, maybe it was something hidden in there all along...

In this case however I still believe it's a false positive 99% sure...

the use here of cracked .exes is still an open question for me... :((
