For $20 dollars you get 10 games a month There is no incentive for me to play games that take 100 hours each to solve and cost 50 to 100 dollars each. If you make games that are disposable even if they are pirated after the release date of the magazine you at best create a product that has real consumer purchasing power. Games will have to be made fast cheap and addictive. The magazine format also could include an ad or two before or preferred after gameplay before the system reverts back to windows or is turned off. A Zelda adventure serialized is more interesting to me as a pla<x>yer than a $75 cart. A $20 magazine bi-yearly or bi-monthly would be much better for the industry imoho.

Also by changing the distribution model to one where u DL them from their server instead of purchasing with all the associated packaging and distribution costs.
