I'm not sure if it should be traded or not. I do believe that as time goes on, there will be more online exclusive games, not less, and that their popularity will increase. If the SimExchange has legs, then there will be a time when it should cover such titles.
Whether or not Hydrophobia should be the first title is an open question. In my opinion the game looks more like an interactive tech demo than something approaching a quality title. In other words, it doesn't look like anything special so I'm not going to push for it to be traded.
But if it is traded and it is episodic, then we should just cover the first episode. If the numbers of/interest in the first episode show promise, then we could cover the subsequent episodes as separate stocks, much like game expansions.
