My guess is, that we are used to digital games?

I don't know why someone decided to say "correct" on my behalf, but no, it's baser than that: "disks" is the ellipsis for "hard disks" and "floppy disks". "Discs" is the correct terminology for an optical disc.

The author already acknowledges what you did re: digital games.

    I still don't understand what you mean by "PC Gamer, I know you know better.".

    I mean that I know someone writing for PC Gamer (the outlet whose article this is) knows (or should know) the difference between those words.


    Edit: In case you didn't know, italicization is used to indicate (among other things) the name of an outlet. So for example, The New York Times, The Verge, and so on.
