How can they (host, domain owner) not get sued?

They could also choose to just get sued - they will lose, but the site will be up until that happens (possibly years) if they don't have trigger-happy hosting provider

Steam.com was for the longest time unrelated to Valve, which is why you'll find Steam under steampowered.com instead.

in the gaming community there's infinite amounts of cheat devs, mods, leaks like this, etc.

it's not like regular stuff where companies just sue you left and right, this stuff is hard to pursue and usually not worth it

it can get taken down but that's about it

They probably will, that's why it's good to grab the torrent while we can.
