Considering that the beta is not inherently indicative of the full game and is different from the full game namely with the addition or reduction of various features, it's necessary to consider that the full game well be a better and more immersive world to players in the full game. Since the purple ball is immersion breaking, considering that it does not fit in with the immersion in the game since the guardians protecting the last of humanity should not be playing with a small purple ball that most certainly defies the laws of physics.The soccer ball as others call it is clearly a relic of the Golden Age and is ordained by the Speaker and the Traveler itself.
Should the purple ball be removed and never mentioned again?

The Purple Ball is Darkness. It cannot be removed. It will consume the light. It will consume you. The end is nigh.
