Release date for the full game is September 12th.
They have removed the singleplayer campaign from the launch, and will add it later in three episodes. Can't say I am bothered about that myself, getting the main island and all the units is the important news.

It is exciting, but I have to ask the obvious question. How will they prevent the shapable enviroment from becoming a forest of penis statues, and abusive words carved into the side of cliffs?

There are a couple of really old Amiga games I used to play with my brothers when I was small. They were simple arcade games but gave us hours of entertainment sat around the TV.
The most well known would be the original Worms, but there was also this free public domain version of Scorched...
Is this satire? I don't even know anymore.
Just in case you are serious though, here is the original. (albeit colorized) http://levelx.me/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/HL18_thumb.jpg
The market prices are dropping fast, but at the start of the week people were paying a dollar each.
EDIT: Finished the episode, it's a good little anthology piece to tide us over till the new season. Which I am now really excited for.
It depends on the game but the most likely answer will be no. Certain indie games have been known to offer steam keys to any customer regardless of where they picked it up, but this is the exception rather than the rule.
Here are a couple of videos in reference to everything Vegeta said:
Dayz. You'll wanna skip ahead on this one, as it is a buffered livestream.
ARMA 3. This was posted today, covering the state of the Beta.
Buy ARMA for ARMA itself, not for DayZ. I love DayZ but the standalone alpha is coming really soon, so I don't think its worth buying into the mod right now.
