Despite probably being correct in their sentiment, I think the attack on the team of "ragtag nobodies" is a bit out of order. I'm sure many of the world's best programmers are "nobodies".

Pure programming skill, however you imagine that being measured, is a very small part of building and designing a successful game and game world.
Do you honestly believe that anyone more skilled at PHP than Mark Zuckerberg had been as a Harvard freshman is on the cusp of building the next Facebook-killer?

No, Mark Zuckerberg was a nobody too. Having clout helps things along considerably when it comes to marketing and acquiring non-nobodies, but being a nobody is neither here nor there when it comes to potential. Replace "programmer" with whatever skills you think are most relevant.
