If most property is going digital, and we agree as a society that idea generators and executors deserve compensation for their effort, I think the answer would be better more evolved compensation systems and I agree stopping patents that are clearly a troll though would be better to be fucked.

The patent system benefits the uber-wealthy at the expense of everyone else, so no, that won't be happening.

To be fair, in this specific example executors of the idea were already compensated by selling a well-received game with a cool new mechanic.
