Because now there's problem. If you get to buy one AI, you usually end up buying all. Now the new AI company has to start from scratch. Not good. Bigger initial money and no loans means AI can begin from buying planes = better competition.
In the coding side this would work something like this:
When you buy AI company you add it's value to array. You order it by max to min value. When time comes to add new AI company you run those chances if AI company gets it's initial sum to be bigger.
If it is that 10% chance you take the most biggest value, add it to AI initial money and remove it from the array.
If it is that 1% chance you take two most biggest values, add those to AI initial money and remove those from the array.
If it is that 0.1% chance you sum all values, add those to AI initial money and remove those from the array.
and that array has number of max AI values.
