Existing game-creating system doesn't allow to limit players which could join a game. It's not good when you want to play private game. So it would be convinient to make password access option or game with invite-only access for that purprose

Currently, if you want a private game you can add "[Private]" to the game title. That way most people will not try and join your game. If anyone does, as the lobby creator you can kick them out. If someone does join, they may be new so you could also post a message in the lobby to inform them what the tag means.

of course it works, but password/invite system looks more simple

I filed a github issue for this, coincidentally.

It's just a matter of finding time to implement it.
