This was basically the answer I came here to say. I immediately thought of all of the stories I've read about people throwing game controllers and punching TVs and it's fine because mommy and daddy will just buy new shit for them. If I did that sort of shit with my second hand Mega Drive then I would've kissed good bye to any childhood gaming.

Same goes for these parents that will smash up their child's computer as punishment or something. Absolute spoilt fucking brats with no appreciation for the things their money buys, raising the next generation of spoilt brats.
