Playboy is just LIke Microsoft in that they know that they will sell way more magazince because she is on the cover than they will ever have to pay if she sues.

So let's say that she sues and her lawyers will undoubtedly tell her that you don;t want to go toe-2-toe with Playboy in court because they have staff attorneys and it will cost millions in legal fees... then Playboy makes an offer to "settle out of court for an undisclosed amount". They keep a large portion of the profits from the "bait and switch" cover issue and everyone walks away happy.

Trust me the Playboy legal team ran the numbers on this a long time before the issue went to print.
