I have played it and it spends the entire time trying to make me buy virtual ships for real money. And this isn't microtransactions either, this is substantial quantities of cash.

If it was just a bit of a cash grab but it was otherwise an okay game I guess it would be acceptable. But there's nothing to the game, all you do is you fly around in your basic ship because you refuse to buy a good one, and shoot pirates. It doesn't do anything that you can't do in Elite Dangerous or No Man's Sky.
