Ah. Well, maybe we could improve the patent system instead? 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.

is that still true in an age where intelligence is accessible via AI models and we can all file patents? (not saying we are there today, though maybe that may be a reality in 1-2 years)

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.
