Archival Policy
We only archive official media and content. "Officially" in terms of it being released (intentionally or not) by the company developing the game or by the publisher.
As a general rule, media that shows cut content from a game has a higher priority than media which is official, but is from the released game. Fan-made content is kept very rarely, unless it is viewed as influential in the community or if there is enough interest.
