This is where the argument that piracy is also preserving games stands up. Although, it begs the question why games developers do not properly archive their software.

Watch it get found by an employee in a personal backup and then later get fired (like what happened with Toy Story 2) or get into trouble for "inappropriate copying of company property" or something similiar

I mean, the woman who had the toy story 2 backup did get fired like 25 years later. That is a quarter of a century.

She was also the producer for Lightyear, which imo was not a very good movie.

Wait, she was fired like over 20 years later. How are those events even connected?

But thats not the reason she was fired though.
