Great find. Got Threads vibes to it
Which of course is just the style at the time but I can see these programmers desparately trying to get Bandersnatch published even after Sheffield has been reduced ot a pile of rubble

I find it fascinating that programmers were being forced to meet unattainable deadlines
driven by questionable conmercial decisions 40 years ago.
Most of my favourite computer games from that era were written by "bedroom programmers", although they still had to deal with a lot of what is covered in the video (marketing, distribution, etc.)...it's interesting how the indie game maker is a thing again...
This is another interesting video on that YT channel that has parallels with the early days of computer game publishing (direct sales, advertising in specialist publications, etc.).
