Probably the same reason they use a Facebook Group page instead of a Google Group page...
Given we're all super fans of the Google Pixel, it's probable that most - if not all - of us have a Google account already...
Had to certify multiple times that you are 18+ and a resident of the US. I'm sure thry have enough data to be able to track and ban if necessary even if they're not able to come after you legally in a foreign country

^(_*Assumed PDT instead of PST because DST is observed_)
I got my invite, but unfortunately it will be too late for me to attend (because of my time zone).
So if somebody wants to attend, I can forward my invite. I just kindly ask to whoever is interested to try and participate in the trivia.
Just DM me.
Got it! Just wish it was earlier access than later in the evening. Or we were able to buy the phones first before general public. That'd be a nice perk!
Pretty stupid really. It should be happening right now and we get to pre order first. I thought we were superfans geez.
Looks like there is a trivia thing at the end with some prizes. I guess so you stick it out until the end.
Early pre-orders would be nice ...
But I'd prefer early shipping. Send ours out so we get them a day or two before everyone else... I'll happily show it off to my friends & family try to get them interested in getting their own in a day or two...
Or at the very least, give us priority pre-orders. Those submitted with a Superman account automatically bubble to the top of the pre-order queue so our phones are for sure part of the first wave. No having to wait 2 or 3 extra days or whatever. I was unlucky enough with my Nexus 7 (2012) I think I had to wait like a month and half or so after initial ship date for them to finally be able to send my order out.
I see your autocorrect did what it did to me once..."Superfan turns into Superman" haha.
Yea, whatever it is, I hope its something worthwhile if they are taking all this time to create this group...but it might just be a marketing ploy. By creating an exclusive group, it creates a false demand of wanting to be part of something. They just want more users to promote their product perhaps? I wonder if they are letting anybody in, or if it really does something and scans your account to know you actually owned pixel devices before.
A few hours after they said they reached capacity the reopened the link for a waiting list. That's how I got in. Just had to check back in that small window.
The email sent on the 16th had a link to sign up. Only the first 10,000 to do so were able to claim a spot.
The email sent out today was to let those lucky few know they had managed to secure a spot and to give them the link to use to access the stream.
It's probably too late, but you could maybe try clicking the link in the first email and filling out the form to join the wait list. Who knows, maybe they've expanded it (it is a virtual event after all, no real reason to limit it) or maybe someone decided they couldn't make it after all...
Taken from the invite email:

\+fun trivia
Thanks. Got mine even though I was on the wait-list.
Damn email went to my promotions label even though I've manually moved every one from superfans to my inbox from promotions.
Were you able to open the ToS? I hit a permission error. 45 minutes later, support sent me to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). I'm not expecting a response. 🤣
yup just got it and its not using Facebook so happy. **We’ll be streaming via the third-party platform Crowdpurr.**

You can't make a YouTube stream be hidden behind a password. If they steamed on YouTube then anyone with the link could watch

We had to sign an NDA when we joined the group, big legal trouble if we film it and release it.

Anyone here an admin on the Facebook Superfans page, please let me in already!
yea it would be nice lol
Just got mine, thanks for the heads up
I got mine too even though like I did apply late yesterday.. Maybe it's not just 10k but a lot more audience?
You applied *yesterday*? I went to apply ~2 hours after they sent the links and the page said that they've already hit capacity. Fucking google...
Yeah, but there was the wait list thing when I saw it and filled out the forms
I filled out the wait list form since they said they reached capacity, and I got an invite today :/
My unique code while could be random was above 10k
Yeah now that I see it mines in the 90k thought it was 9k
Must be random, mine is 50k+
Must be. Mine is 15K
I got mine as well. I'm still waiting for approval for the Facebook group for like 5 days now. Anyone else have this problem?
been waiting a few weeks. seems like a common thing
Got mine!
Got mine too
nice just got mine 👍🏽

I wonder what the prizes will be.
Agreed, still hope some unique offering or reveal might be there for us as well.

I'm a superfan, didn't get an email. I did on Oct16, but the event was full already. Did they reopen invites?
No, the people that got in only now are getting the confirmation.
I wish they opened up. I've owned nearly every Pixel Device. 😢 Google, if you're listening please let me attend!

Got mine as well. Also very happy it's not running through Facebook.

Did you receive an invite or apply to join the super fans group?
A pixel super fans invite only stream tomorrow evening for the pixel 6
Fucking nerds. 😂
And proud!!
Do we have to enter now?
Don't think so, I clicked the link and the page is active. I did not enter a nickname or the code.
Ty
no. You can do it right before the event. If you do it now it will not work.
Ty
I did enter one but when click link again it say code have been used Dame it
Just close it out and use the link again that's what I did and it let me back in
Not working some reason
Just got mine...... Excited for tomorrow
Got mine too!
I signed up for the wait-list and still got an invite!
Got mine a few minutes ago
Never got mine :/
think there will be any special offers at this virtual talk? I plan on preordering asap - I assume during/after the event.
Brush up on your Pixel trivia for the contest mentioned.
Will they hand out discount coupons during the event? That would be nice for the fans.
I still haven't gotten anything from them. Oh well, I tried.
Woot! I got the e-mail!
I just have to wonder why they aren't using Google Meet.
Thanks. Got mine even though I was on the wait-list. Damn email went to my promotions label even though I've manually moved every one from superfans to my inbox from promotions.
Got the invite. I signed up after people in the comments were saying they were getting an error saying the slots were full.
Still waiting to be accepted into the Facebook group despite getting accepted into the program via email. Sucks.
And there is a trivia ToS .... Hrm....
Were you able to open the ToS? I hit a permission error. 45 minutes later, support sent me to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). I'm not expecting a response. 🤣
Well, right now they are playing a pre-recorded video... not that fun...
