Does wb get any money from sales of adult swim published games on steam? (lemm.ee)

I have an urge to buy some of them on steam before they get delisted but don't want to give any money to wb in the process. The way that apparently devs could just leave or sell/give away the game on other platforms made me think maybe wb doesn't get a cut of every sale. Does anyone know that for certain?

Not for long. Iirc they're planning on having them removed for purchase for good.

Well if they don't want your money anymore you might as well sail the high seas

It's fair to assume they won't be getting updates, which are the big reason to buy rather than pirate anyway.
