I'd say more than somewhat considering how much effort they went through to uncensor, and having an actual policy against censorship, They also tend to support the games better than what's seen, like the NA/EU Super Neptunia RPG release was a lot less bug and glitch-filled than the ones the Japs got ever since Monster Monpiece got censored. They have generally done their best since then to get a platform for the game where it can be uncensored. See the related tweet, which came at the time of the mass PS4 censorship campaign's start and everyone was scrambling to figure out what to do.
They also backported much of their PS4 catalog to the Switch so people could have a place to buy their shit on consoles uncensored without having to worry about the future titles being fucked with; its easy to see they had strong, if not controlling influence there with regards to the ports, like the Fairy Fencer F Switch port for NA coming out before the JP one.
They also actually listen to their customers; see the rest of my reply to the other anon.

>the most they did was signed posters and T-shirts
No?
They've had fleece blankets, wall scrolls, Vita, PS4 and DS4 skins, tiddy mouse pads, light novel sets, big nep plushies, full-sized dakimakura cases, and so forth.
They don't have the really crazy and expensive shit like detailed figs or shit like sword replicas yet yeah, but for a tiny company on the west coast with minimal connections to any manufacturing, logistics and production, they have done respectably for themselves.
Sometimes their LEs were even better than the Japanese versions I saw, which almost never happens anywhere else. Like the Superdimension Neptune vs Sega Hard girls LE where the JP LE only had a booklet (which I assume the artbook), stickers and a drama CD, whereas the NA/EU side had Vita skins, an actually good, double-sided Iffy pillowcase, and the artbook and 2-disc soundtrack of course, or the MeiQ limited edition where the JP side had only an artbook and drama cd, whereas the NA side had a nice, thick big tiddy mousepad, artbook, and soundtrack.
These are not things you see out of any other NA/EU branches of companies.
More importantly, they try their best to ensure the games are uncensored.
I have never seen a company uncensor anything that was censored in Japan, but these fags spent extra money and effort to do so, like in Death's End Re;Quest 2 where the costumes were censored in development, they managed to get the uncensored versions into the game.
They were also the ones always pushing for both Switch and PC ports afaik, whereas IF/CH JP are still happy to develop on the soystation as their first choice of platform without even a simultaneous multiplat release to ensure the games are uncensored upon release.
Not only this, but they actually listen to my emails to them when I ask them for shit, like GoG releases of their products, or even a PC LE release without the steam code.
Tell me what kind of company would do that for any single customer. That's why I can't shit on them too badly compared to anyone else for that twitter shit, though it does disgust me to see it, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt considering the backlash they received for it and them shutting up afterwards.
They try the hardest out of any NA/EU branch I've ever seen, so I give them credit where credit is due. I hope to goodness that twitter shit was just some retards on their twitter caught up in the moment, but if its more than that and they are pozzed, that'll probably be the day where I just give up on buying anything physical anymore from any company, period. As it is, they are basically the last NA game branch/company I bother to support these days.
Most western branches of JP companies deserve to be shat on relentlessly, but this is an exception to the rule, imo.
