So I recently got Diablo 3 and also a new Macbook pro 13". The game runs fine but I'm concerned if it's healthy for the macbook.
Well, if it runs OK as per your expectations, go ahead and enjoy. The Mac is meant to be used, not to be just a fancy ornament.
Just don't get carried away and fling it out the window if you lose. The warranty wouldn't cover the results.
for your info, the Mac is actually designed to make your tasks easy and fast. it's not meant for gaming in the main concern. But you still can play games on the Mac platform as long as don't set the graphic and all the setting to maximum due to limitation of the Macbook specs. To be friendly, 13" macbook pro does not come with any graphic card, it's not highly recommend to play high end graphic games like Diablo 3.

I'm playing Diablo 3 on my 13" Macbook Pro and the game is very playable on medium graphics settings. It's not going to harm your machine to play it! Blizzard also has a pretty good track record at making games in the Diablo franchise playable on a range of different hardware: you don't need a beast of a machine to play it.
Diablo 3 developers recommend a video card about twice as powerful as the HD 3000 graphics in the 13" MacBook Pro.
The HD 3000 is the minimum specifications, may run fine now, but if they update the game or Apple changes something, present performance could drop.
Sure, but the point is the game runs quite nicely on the HD 3000. I'd argue that performance is just as likely to improve as they update the game. To stay on topic though, and to reiterate, running Diablo 3 on your macbook isn't going to hurt it.
Is it bad to play Diablo 3 on a new macbook pro 13"?
