When a company goes bankrupt, it is offered up for buying by the player. This is common with the AI's. The amount of money the company is offered for is the "company value" I believe (may be wrong), which in turn is the sum of the assets minus the company loan.

In Original TTD, when you purchased a company you got everything, all assets, PLUS all the loan (I know because I remember paying off multi-million loans when there wasn't the "ctrl-click" - it took a while :-) ). However, now in OpenTTD, when you buy a company you don't get the debt, only the assets. See attached image for an example.

My point basically is that either the player should get the debt when they buy (as original ttd), or the debt should be removed from the asking price, and only the value of real-assets be used to calculate the asking price. Personally I prefer the later - it's closer to how the real-world works (why would creditors want to sell the assets for £1!), and I think it'd be better from a game-play perspective too - no more entirely-free lunches.

There is a difference in behaviour between buying a bankrupt company and buying a company via shares; via shares you will get the loan too.

I don't know how it works exactly in TTD, but I suspect it's the same as I see no reason for OpenTTD to change the behaviour.

Okay... after waiting 8 years for the AI to go bankrupt in TTD:
- buying an AI via the company shares: you get the loan
- buying a bankrupt AI: you don't take over the loan

As such OpenTTD behaves exactly like TTD w.r.t. the loan.
