Ready At Dawn didn't make any mistakes with The Order

Did I ever imply they were?

Consumers fall for hype and pre-order games. There haven't been any blockbuster games over the past 2 months, so people were betting on the Order 1886 to be "that game". It isn't, and beyond the first week or two where pre-order and hype alone carries many games, I doubt it does very well.

It's a brand new IP that has gotten horrible reception from critics and has very little content. I think expecting it to stay afloat long-term is being too optimistic.

Yes you did, by assuming that they know no better of a product their buying your assuming that they aren't conservative of their decisions and that isn't true at all ...

Hype usually only works when the said product turns out to be good ... 

Beyond all this The Order is hardly selling off of hype seeing as it's shrouded in total skepticism pre-release and don't assume that critic's have a similar view to consumers ...

I think you're overestimating just how fast news reaches the average consumer. Most people don't look at game reviews, they just buy games and play them. Most of what they hear is by word of mouth from friends and family. It takes a little while for news of a game being mediocre or bad to get around, it certainly doesn't happen within a few days. Just look at games like Assassin's Creed Unity: the public backlash was big, but the game still did very well for the first week.
