I don't know what the issues are with royalties and all, but next time the editorial calendar calls for a 'greatest hits' edition of The Escapist, you should do a whole issue of just the articles of an author who wrote enough articles for you to put such an issue together.
Or even a kind of 'interdisciplinary' issue where you've got four or five different articles that were part of different themes, but wound up exploring those different themes using the same game/genre/etc. as the 'specimen'.
