She said that it may have been confusing for fans to discover, and it didn't help that websites talking about the show used the game's logos.

CW Gotham Knights and WB Games Montréal game are different and designed by different studios, and people, and do not share any connection to one another other than the Batman Universe created by DC.

Is the Gotham Knights game canon to the comic books?

Some of what is in the Batman comics is in Gotham Knights, but there have been many changes. The Court of Owls and the additional lore that players will discover will likely be considered canon. Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, the creators of The Court of Owls, showed their support for the game in their Gotham Knights - Court of Owls: Behind the Scenes YouTube video.

Therefore, we can assume the lore itself is canon and may be brought up in future comics. The storyline for Gotham Knights was confirmed not to be canon in the Discord Q&A.
