[game_preservation] Silent Films Being Lost

[Andrew Armstrong]

While we're perhaps not at this stage of loss yet, it's saddening to see 
other media having large issues preserving old silent films:

I hope we don't get this way with tapes we're still keeping and haven't 
digitally preserved yet, perhaps we're in a better position given we 
don't usually have as much analogue media to preserve as film does so it 
is easier. The issue perhaps is more how we replay the data once we 
digitally preserve it - emulation and so forth.
