Certifications in Switzerland

[mcaso]

The number of sales needed for single certification in Switzerland are set on 20,000 for Platinum and 15,000 for Diamond. According to Google there seems to be no Diamond certs in Switzerland in real life so one has to make up the numbers, but it should definitely be more than for Platinum (my guess is it was intended to be 150,000 but is missing a zero). For albums it looks fine: 30,000 for Platinum and 250,000 for Diamond.

Also some of the medium-to-small European countries probably need to tweak the numbers for certifications, it is too easy to get tons of certifications in countries like Slovakia, Croatia or Norway (I think you put the actual numbers for certifications but didn't take into account that in real life they don't use streaming when counting sales, which in the game add up to ~75% of sales; as a consequence artists are getting ~4 times the certifications they should).

In a quick search even forgetting about the streaming some of the numbers are already off, Norway actually has set 30,000 for Gold and 60,000 for Platinum (in singles) while in-game it is 5,000 for Gold and for 10,000 Platinum.

There is a very good chance some numbers have changed and need updating.

Also if some countries dont add streaming at this point I wont be customising their certifications, it will get too bespoke.

No, I didn't mean customise them to not count streaming but tweak the numbers for certifications raising them to give a better picture of how it would actually work (e.g. if in reality it is 10,000 units without streaming and streaming is about 75% of units in the game you can set it in 40,000 units in the game to give a better approximation)
