Razer, the company best known for its PC gaming accessories, has begun manufacturing face masks to help combat the coronavirus pandemic currently plaguing the world. It's a noble move on the part of the company, especially as shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE) increasingly becomes an issue around the world.

Min-Liang Tan, CEO of Razer, posted a long update on Twitter, delving into the company's decision. In the statement, Tan says, "We intended to donate up to 1M masks to the health authorities in different countries globally." Coronavirus has led to the cancelation of E3 and other major events around the world, with the disease continuing to spread in many regions.

Razer's various offices across the world will be reaching out to their respective governments and authorities, according to Tan, and aiding them with supplies. Manufacturers have struggled to keep up with the demand for face masks since the outbreak, so the additional supply should help immensely. Other products are also seeing manufacturing delays, including games. Recently, Final Fantasy 7 revealed not everyone will get their copy on day one because of manufacturing delays caused by coronavirus.

In addition to donating the masks, Tan stated in a follow-up tweet that Razer would be contributing "extra time, resources, effort, and talent," towards battling the outbreak. Other companies have struggled with policies during the epidemic, with corporations like GameStop refusing to lockdown, despite the hazard presented by remaining open.

All in all, Razer's move is a sign of how serious the epidemic is. That a company like Razer finds it necessary to step in should signal how much the coronavirus has continued to change the world. With any luck, it will be handled soon, but at this point, it's difficult to say how long it will remain an issue the world over.

Hopefully, more companies follow Razer's example and aid in the production of necessary protective equipment, and, ideally, other supplies. It helps reduce the effects of the virus and avoid new cases entirely, ultimately benefitting everyone. In times like this, as coronavirus continues to decimate the world, it's all anyone can really do. If anything, maybe Razer's move will inspire more companies to do the same in the future.
