Similar to what Transit was saying, the typical biological definition of symbiotic simply describes a relationship that affects both parties. Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship that benefits both, but it is often conflated with symbiosis itself. Parasitism is a type of symbiotic relationship that benefits one party and harms the other, so Blizzard is correctly using the terms.
