Yeah, kinda.

Can't blame them though. The Order 1886 was 5 hours long and people cursed the developer into being bought by Facebook

Not really a fair comparison when The Order 1886 dev had delusions of grandeur about his vision. About 30 fps, 1080p, repeatedly removing player agency, the QTEs everywhere, the letterbox fov that made people ill playing it, the terrible AI. The game being short was just the least of the games problems. As I recall people were done with the game even before 5 hours in.
