That's how language works... (Destiny)

It's called the Gold version because that's the one they put onto a special gold-coloured master disc which is used to create all the replicated copies.

Sure, but that's just the origin of the term; languages evolve over time. Plenty of modern day words have different (and in some cases, opposite) meanings to their original etymology, but that doesn't make them invalid. I'm sure ‘going gold’ will be a term that floats around in the games industry well after physical discs have ceased to be used to distribute games.
