We came across a situation where a player can have no companies and still increasing debt from interest. For example, if a player takes on too much debt and cannot repay it after issuing IPOs for all owned companies, the player has remaining debt and no asset generation. In this case, has the player automatically lost?

This is a rare occurrence, but it can happen. And for the sad individual who took his only company public and then lost it, he probably deserves to lose. However, there is one way out that comes to mind. Even though you cannot borrow from the bank, there is nothing preventing you from borrowing from other players, or making other arrangements. Be creative, business is business.

This flexibility needs to be spelled out clearly in the rules.

Yea I just mentioned feedback to another player, nothing in the rules hints at flexibility or deal making. This didn't even feel like a deal making game it seemed more like a card hoarding trick taking game. (No offense if offense felt)
