That's really going to depend on what you consider average. Can I think of much worse devs? Absolutely. In fact, my childhood was littered with them (damn you JLB!). But I can also name dozens of better devs as well. I can name several that have tackled the same genre and done much, much better without a console maker holding their hand the whole way, too.
Do they deserve to keep making games? Sure. Do they or any of their work deserve much in the way of accolades? No, really they don't. They did as best as they could with what they got (aka a budget bigger than the vast majority of their competitors), but their best pales in comparison to so many others its unbelieveable. Really, without Sony hyping Killzone 2 to no end these guys would be no better off than Factor 5 which was a (almost inarguably) better dev team by a mile.
You do not have the right to never be offended.
