"talent" is a stupid term used only by the people who have to explain why they can't do something
you don't suddenly make a map on your first try and then get it into a game just because you're "talented"
if you wanted to actually get something done, you would work your ass off and practice every day instead of saying "uh-huuh, i can't do this without working much, better call everyone who did talented"

So what you're saying is that they're untalented pieces of shits?

wow calm down
where did he imply that talent is something you don't have to work for - of course mastery takes work but that doesn't mean you can't wish to be in a position where you could have that skill

I've been programming and making sprites for nearly 11 years.

well I guess you're right anyway, I could make something if I tried.

Talent's usually the concept for being good at something by nature.
I don't mind it being used colloquially, but at the core I believe it's a myth (if you take genetics out the equation) that's used to describe someone when people don't have an explanation for why that someone is so good at something. Which might just come down to them being very disciplined or observant or silently thinking about it and doing theory work while busy with something different.

Hell yeah you could, everyone can if they put enough work into it.
Programming/sprites isn't very relevant here though, because it's not something that's connected to "workshop $$$", it's just that thanks to valve anyone who is good at hammer/photoshop/3d modelling programs and has a sense of art styles, can get money for single chunks of things you do without having an actual job
