A couple of ways I've seen are:
Pretending to be an "influencer" so you get free press keys
Buying keys in a region with low regional pricing then reselling them in a higher region
Buying a bunch of keys during a sale, then reselling them a couple of months after the game is no longer on sale
- crankylinuxuser 6y ago> Buying keys in a region with low regional pricing then reselling them in a higher region Notice that companies can do that with labor and buildings and tax evasion, and it's 'situation normal'... But when real humans try to, its bad and illegal and horrible. Hmm.
- Tyr42 6y agoThough note that Factorio never goes on sale.
- mywittyname 6y agoIs it the same price everywhere in the world though?
- _jgdh 6y agoIt is not. Steam has lower prices in some countries. Factorio sells for the equivalent of $12 in India while it sells for $30 elsewhere. Most games are similarly discounted. That said, someone who buys it from Steam can't gift the game (or presumably extract a key) to someone in a different country. If you bought the game in India, only an Indian account can play it.

("Made a false representation, dishonestly, knowing that the representation was or might be untrue or misleading, with intent to make a gain for himself or another, to cause loss to another or to expose another to risk of loss.")
