I think it's fine to have a black and white line about stealing (and other moral dilemmas), as you clearly do. It makes life easy to navigate.

It's hard to see a victim here. The kid stole for the early access, he would have gladly paid for the game.

So really the rule he's intending to break is you know, "you're not allowed to look at this until X date"

The shoplifting is a byproduct.

I can see a gray area. There's a lot of stupid laws painted in black and white.
