You should be able to rollover bonds
I know it's probably considered part of the "puzzle" but I find it very weird that my bond comes due and even if I have a great credit score but no cash, it's game over.

I've even paused the scenario right at due date when the bond gets paid off and your cash goes more than $50k into the red. I then issue a new bond and payoff the overdraft instantly, but as soon as you unpause, the scenario ends.

It just feels like the business simulation part "breaks" because there's no reason when a bond comes due that you'd have a cash crisis or bankruptcy as long as your credit is good enough.

I don't know whether that's how it works in reality.
It seems to me to make sense - time for you to pay up, and No, good credit does not count as currency. I can't pay MY rent with YOUR good credit.

That argument doesn't make sense. A company is given a credit rating based on its balance sheet and earnings. If I have a $100k bond due but net assets worth more than that and $300k in annual earnings, then there is no scenario where I couldn't just issue another bond to pay off the old one.

If I had no earnings and more liabilities than assets (i.e. a bad credit rating), then sure, I couldn't get another bond and would go bankrupt.

Also, as mentioned, when I pause the game and pay off the bond (going over the overdraft limit for a hot second), my credit rating is back high and I can issue another bond, go way back into positive cash, and everything's fine. Except the end game overdraft limit has already triggered during the pause time... even though I settled my overdraft limit by "end of day."
