Vita firmware update 1.80 locks memory cards to one user account
The memory card inserted in your system is linked with the following Sony Entertainment Network account.
[account name]
To use the memory card with your PS Vita system you must format the memory card.
If you format the memory card, all data on the memory card will be deleted.
Those who try to switch accounts will be asked to format the memory card, which will erase all data stored. expensive memory cards.
Sony never specified multiple accounts could be stored onto one card, but this may come as an inconvenience to users as they will have to purchase more memory cards.
Ergo, be sure to back up any data you have on your memory cards before installing firmware 1.80.

RaitoKunRyukMPAA What is their motivation for this? Money!
Remember, MS blocked Datel memory cards a while ago.
If you want a hassle, no corporate nonsense attitude approach to gaming, switch to PC gaming.
Yeah, because PC players are treated right.
Oh, wait...
