Is ROBLOX changing it's audience?

Some avid ROBLOX players may remember that back in 2008, the site was more kid-friendly, bright and colourful (and in my opinion made me want to barf). Now, in the present year of 2014, with the introduction of dynamic lighting, pathfinding AI, developer products, the new site theme, most recently the CSG Modeler or shape editor, whichever, and most importantly DevEx.

Say, that does look a lot nicer.

ROBLOX, apparently, appears to be changing it's audience from kid-friendly to a developer's paradise. Extraordinary developers such as loleris have cropped up in many places, bringing along games that made an everlasting impression on the community as a whole.

ROBLOX, it seems, is on the road to providing a platform for developers and gamers alike to develop and play games with minute details organised by a very powerful engine, which skilled developers harness to their advantage.

DevEx. More than $400,000 given away.
It's understandable why it's OBC only.

However, what will that mean for the rest of the non-developing community? In particular, the NBC community? Updates like the price floors and DevEx make them feel oppressed and unable to go about freely. In 2008-2012, Builder's Club was a slight add-on, you still had the core features and much more. However, NBCers still have the core features, and also no right to complain about it. ROBLOX is it's own site; they can do whatever they want that abides the law.

This newer age of ROBLOX might dent if not harm the community. What do you think will happen? Will ROBLOX turn pay-to-play, like it's blockier and successful counterpart Minecraft? Comment!
