Wish I had been able to chime in earlier but I want to say that the Greeks had a saying. Roughly it is that 'Tragedy today is comedy tomorrow.'. And while each tragedy has its own cool-down time before its OK to talk about or put into the form of a game it is true that eventually everything is acceptable to joke about once the wounds have healed. This of course comes with the caveat that mean-spirited jokes or reenactments are an exception, but there are always respectful ways to do things without compromising the integrity of the idea if you wait for the appropriate time.
I think the question is a personal one and each person will get to vote with their wallet or their voice if they decide to go forward with this. I say let the market decide when its too soon and when it's acceptable. Some would probably buy it and some would probably protest it...but if a company has the capitol to invest in the project and is willing to risk the bad PR then I don't think anyone should be able to stop them.
