I play minecraft with my son, who's 10, but it doesn't appeal to me that greatly beyond playing with him. Dwarf Fortress and Crawl, on the other hand, can end up sucking hours of my day if I'm not careful.
Crawl?
It's a Rogue-like game. The learning curve is rather steep, but worth it imho.

Swearing off Blizz won't save you; it'll just be Valve then or EA or Mojang or Zynga... they'll get you eventually :)

The Mac support has always been great for Blizzard games and D3 is no exception. I've been playing the beta in a 2009 MBP for a couple of weeks now and everything looks pretty smooth. Unlike companies like EA, Blizzard spends real time making sure their Mac offerings are as good as the Windows ones and that is enough for myself to be a supporter.
FWIW the beta had a crash bug on mac where if you go to a certain place (the circle of summoner people that start the quest to get your templar sidekick), it crashes. 100% guaranteed crash. I had to play in bootcamp to get past it. They fixed it in a later patch. But it wasn't exactly great support if a 100% mac crash bug, in a short beta playthrough, didn't get found/fixed before they pushed the version. Also, FYI,…
I see where you're coming from but I've experienced stuff like this while testing games for all platforms, same thing happened for NWN on Windows. This is what betas are for! :)
I experienced that same SC2 bug for a long time and it's annoying, but when I compare its Mac support to other games (Dragon Age, anything by Valve) I can see how much time Blizzard spends making sure everything works alright.
