Because only Factorio has been able to proove that is happening. That and they pretend they don't know that is happening as they are just the middle men.
Can you give the backstory of what happened with Factorio?

They lost $6600 in chargebacks and g2a was running an ad campaign using their name on Google

I had a better link on my old Lemmy instance but that one went the way of the dodo and I can't find that in-depth explanation.
Basically Factorio never goes on sale. Ever, it only gets more expensive so, if someone is selling a key for a price lower than their starting price point it must have been fraudulent.
