I don't think there is any problem, weighting games with a {0, 1} result. You just add {0, w} to the score, and w to the number of games played. That 0 stays 0 is not a problem; the effect of the weighting comes in through the number of games. E.g. if you won a recent game (with weight 1) and lost an old one, your average will be 1/(1+w), which is greater than 0.5 if w<1, because the old loss is weighted less.
