I think it's because some really big VA's spoke out about resale, and frankly I can get on that bandwagon. Resale is a way for the middleman to make a cut without the developers getting a cent. It's a straight-up division of the supply and demand process.
Except it is kind of an essential part of everyday living and preventing it is basically companies taking ownership of your possessions. In fact MOST "Resale" is for no money at all.
In fact the majority of Anti-piracy is anti-resale given a more innocent title.

But just to highlight the ridiculousness of this all... You buy Harry Potter, the book... You read it... Your done. So you put it up on Amazon for 5 bucks.
THAT is Resale, that is the boogyman of developers! (well ok... Producers.)

They seemed to direct the conversation to resale. Maybe to distract from their particular malfeasance?
I think it is more that the legal pressure being put on them is from the fact that they are a resale platform. Something that several countries have been having a lot of issues with.
With some passing laws to prevent the obstruction of resale (UK) and some ATTEMPTING to employ laws prohibiting resale (USA)
If G2A gets shut down it won't be because of the sheer amount of shady business going on in the background (Yeah A LOT to hate G2A over)... It will be because of resale.

Now as I say this... The BIG issue with Resale and G2A has a much simpler comparison.
G2A is less like resale... like say amazon.
G2A is like a platform for Ticket Scalpers... But why is Ticket Scalping often illegal? Ohh right because some people will just buy up a ton of tickets and sell them at an increased price. It is banned not because there is anything wrong with someone reselling their ticket that they won't use.
G2A's prices come from people buying a lot of copies of games on sale.
G2A often feels like a shady Pawn shop.
