I made a joke yesterday on [mastodon] that I'd wake up and there are
multiple new youtube videos about the [Open Game License] (OGL) mess.

Well, here we are, a new day and more videos have been made. People are
still angry, upset and do not trust Wizards of the Coast (WotC). [WotC's
recent statement] from Kyle Brink has not done much to alleviate the
community's concerns.
