Why is the SFD maximum player limit 8?

I would like to know why the game's maximum player limit is 8.

Here, in this image, I've hosted a server in Pre-Alpha 1.2.1 and made it so more than 8 players can join.
It's more fun that way in my opinion, because more players can join in the fun and with giant maps and different gamemodes this game could last longer.
If you're not going to add the possibility to make modifications for the game (which could make the game's lifespan near infinite), then at least remove the maximum player limit, or set it to 255 / bigger.

Apologies if I sound rude or disrespectful.

A limitation we set for various reasons as development progressed and new problems started to come with having more than 8 players.
