As the game has not yet been released to customers, to retail, or to reviewers, anyone currently playing the release-version is probably using a pirated copy. Thus, they are probably using the blanket approach, excluding the accounts of known reviewers.

Tons of stores sell games early. Though I guess that anyone getting banned who have a legitimate but early-sold copy would be directed to take it up with the retailer that broke the original release date, which makes sense.
