That was one year ago, things might still change. If they start to use Vulkan they may reconsider.
Until we Linux people are such a minority in their eyes, they won't change this. Not even with Vulkan in their hands.

LittleBigPlanet developers seeking funding for co-op action adventure, Linux confirmed

Just checked their Kickstarter and something caught my attention. Aside from the usual PC=Windows phrase, they will only give out beta keys for Windows and OSX. In my oppinion, this means that Linux support will come only after the other two are ready, as they won't do testing for it initially. Hope they will really deliver it eventually.

Samorost2, Machinarium Collector's Edition, To The Moon & Botanicula Now On GOG For Linux

Just to add. Bought Botanicula through Humble some time ago and although it doesn't affect gameplay as a whole, I got some annoying errors. Probably wasn't tested enough or something with AIR. Even so, I still recommend it and hope the devs will continue giving us Linux versions.
