It was just a game, for fun, to kill time during the off season. They have tried other such games between the various seasons. Some people don't consider the info in them to be "cannon" or "official" because they aren't a part of the show proper.
Damon and Carlton have said that The LOST Experience was a way to get hardcore fans info that may not fit into the final story arch.
CARLTON CUSE:
"We sort of felt like the [LOST] Experience was a way for us to get out mythologies that we would never get to in the show. I mean, because this is mythology that doesn’t have an effect on the character’s lives or existence on the island. We created it for purposes of understanding the world of the show but it was something that was always going to be sort of below the water, sort of the iceberg metaphor, and the [LOST] Experience sort of gave us a chance to reveal it."

So, I'd say it's pretty "official" information (which is why I caution that it maybe considered "spoiler" info). However, I for one, really hope some of what we learned in the LE makes it into the show proper before all is said and done.
