Google, following the unveiling of new Pixel 9 devices at the Made By Google event, is not slowing down. Recent revelations on Threads show a sign-up form requiring Pixel devices to be used exclusively, prompting talk about the Team Pixel program and its distinction from reviewer programs. Engadget, falling into the press category, did not encounter such language and assures unbiased reviews. Google responded, acknowledging the error and clarifying the purpose of the Team Pixel program. The situation raises questions about revised agreements for Team Pixel members and those who initially refused due to the restrictive mandate.
