Why? It seems like the opposite is true - see the other comment under this post about buying a 13900k just to play Factorio.
It seems to me like Factorio is exactly the kind of game that would benefit from a low level language, as it's relatively simple graphically and all the complexity is in the simulation, making it CPU-bound.
