Capitalizing on the popularity of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Beloved Studio took on as their first project the video game version of the British horror sci-fi film XTRO. The game was a catastrophic failure (the film kind of was too). Eviscerated by early access reviews, our founders dumped all existing copies into a local landfill.  They went camping together and under a canopy of shooting stars, the idea for Super Barios Sistas was born, replacing Xtro in the studio's official history. Decades later, a stubborn bitcoin investor sued for access to the landfill in a failed effort to recover a lost passkey. Sifting through decades of trash, copies of Beloved Studio's maligned first child resurfaced.
