As someone who has been following this since the kickstarter and have spent way too much money throughout the years I honestly don't believe it'll do that well. Even with all the known actors they managed to get on the project early on, it's still a space/flight game and they have always been pretty niche.
With how much money Star Citizen itself makes these days, Squadron not doing super well won't really do that much to the company, but you'll probably see a shift towards work on SC only and not the further episodes to squadron they had planned. (this might be the plan anyway atleast until SC 1.0 is out)

I'm still not sure I'd bet on Squadron releasing next year, but they do seem to be preparing a lot of media and promotions for it. It'll look good and I am sure I will enjoy it, but I'm not the one they need to convince their shit is good.
