I’ll still pirate that shit.

Don't. It's absolutely not worth the hassle, even of pirating it for free.

Don’t worry; free-labor modders will turn it into something better and Bethesda will be right back to making money from it.

Idk, I like it. Obviously it's not perfect. I'm level 32 and plan to keep playing.

My perception might be skewed though. My previous steam purchase was KSP2 and, comparatively, Starfield is much more polished and has way more content.

I personally really enjoyed the trip. Far from perfect, and more a 2010 game in its core, but quite entertaining. However, I would have been disappointed if I had to pay 80€ for it (especially because this game lacks polish). I had no hesitation thanks to the gamepass, and I have no regret playing 100h to it :).

I think the backlash is a bit excessive. It feels like people expected this game to be exceptional, having huge expectations that were never met. It’s Bethesda, how can we expect a master piece from them on day one? Besides, it’s not like a success like Skyrim can be reproduced that easily. It’s not bad to have expectations, but if the game is different than what you had in mind, it’s not the game’s fault imo (and it happens too frequently those years, as if all major releases are bad games that should never be played).
