Hmmm... Polygamy is considered illegal in the US. Can a video game promote an illegal activity and still keep a teen rating? I don't know the answer to that.
Stealing is illegal too and we have a whole trait surrounding that. But I wouldn't say polygamy and stealing are the same thing morally. Just answering your question.
Your point is well taken. However, kleptomania is, to my understanding, still considered a disability, disorder, or illness by the medical community. It is a compulsion that cannot be controlled without treatment. Polygamy does not fall into that category.
Correct stealing has a victim(s) who did not consent. If polygamy is done right and all involved has to consent. Polygamy like all marriages only has willing victims. Stealing is universally harmful and thus those who are compelled to do so are mentally ill like a drug addict. Those who are polyamorous, their activities are only harmful if not everyone agrees to it like cheaters. I know of a couple who have an open relationship and are happy. They have a mutual girlfriend and wish they could marry her. They live down the street and aren't harming a soul. Can you say that about a thief?
