why is the 4K limit ? 

- because it is a technical challenge
- developers are able to produce an entire game in the 3 months given
- graphics quality are of similar level making it a more even playing field
- mainly because it is FUN

Yea usually game developers start off making some complex game that they never finish, but in 4K you always finish! And it's also a learning experience, you learn how to do things differently and do things you never thought about.
