I have to disagree with this article. This line, "Ledonne clearly wanted to use the game medium to explore the motivations of killers Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold" obviously shows that it deserves some sort of merit. If Ledonne had made the game to "creep out people and hurt their feelings," than there would be a clear difference. If we look at other forms of art, there are numerous instances in history where some work has been declared "obscene" later to be declared a masterpiece. Alan Ginsberg's "Howl," for example, went on trial for obscenity due to its content which caused it to sell thousands of copies and be critically acclaimed. We must also keep in mind that during this time and beforehand there were hundreds of books that were socially accepted that contained racism, misogyny and other forms of interlarance.
