This was probably a bad example. I am positive that I've seen a
software update where part of the description said that it fixed an
openGL issue with World of Warcraft. (As I was still playing WoW at
that point, I was quite excited when I read it. I never noticed a
difference though.)
I get the impression that Apple is very responsive to Blizzard (feel
free to correct me) as well they should be, given Blizzard's history
with the mac.
