Kane Parsons Confirms Meetings With Valve, But Won't Adapt Their Games If It Can't Be Done Right

Backrooms director Kane Parsons has confirmed his meetings with Valve, but says that he has no plans to adapt any of their games if it can't be done well. When speaking on an October 28 episode of The Kyle Buchanan Show, Parsons wore a Valve hoodie, which prompted Buchanan to inquire about Parsons' recent trips to the developer's corporate offices. (Following the release of Backrooms, the director noted that he wanted to make a Portal movie and subsequently posted about trips to Valve on Instagram.) Naturally, Parsons didn't confirm or deny what exactly is going on between them, but confirmed that he has had conversations with the company — but he only wants to work with them if it's done right. "They work in experiments, and I like that, because that tends to be how I work," he said.
