First off what you are describing is how magazine subscriptions work. There is also crowdfunding where a goal is set and funds are raised To finance a project. I plan to support the magazine by buying it at the hobby shop when it comes out. I will consider a subscription when a plan for getting the magazine back on track is provided. Had subscriptions to lots of magazines that just went away. Lots of good intentions however the realities got in the way. I'm not in a finicial position to gamble on something that may or may not happen.
