If a KPI is being tied to compensation, it has some clear importance to the company. But we can take Nadella out of the conversation because we know he has plenty of other KPIs that Microsoft cares more about as CEO.
The expected growth vs. actual growth, is interesting. Why did MS think they'd grow by more than 4% and what went wrong that they didn't crack 1%?

We’re just about vibes over here at Microsoft

This is the real conversation, they are missing projections in both metrics. I honestly don’t see gamepass even getting a huge boost from starfield to make the difference
Most likely his bonus was built on the thought that ABK would have been closed by then. This KPI was for July 22-June 23
The 4.4% was the bonus target not their expected growth.
They had a bunch of delays, Forza and Starfield were supposed to make FY2023 as was the Activision merger supposed to be done.

So I'll rephrase the question...why did Nadella think he could spur Xbox related growth by 4.4%, yet fell short of 1%? Something didn't work out as anticipated and I'm interested in what that was. Could have been ROI on an acquisition, certain title, GamePass, console market share, or anything but something or a few things fell far short of expectations.
Game development doesn't work like cloud computing, anything can happen bad release schedule, bad games, delays etc. Beholding a ceo salary to a growth target is how divisions get closed and lack innovation. This is great news. Only thing Microsoft should care about is if revenue targets are moving in right direction and growth in general. They now own activision which should dramatically change growth targets in revenue. Gamepass isn't a major driver and never will be. It's a part of the platform.
Going out of business don’t matter

Again, the big 3 things that were supposed to happen during FY 2023 did not happen.
Starfall was supposed to come out last year. Forza was supposed to come out last year and they expected to close on Activision last year.
you know they live in a different world
You talking to these dudes like they know what a 10k is let alone fiscal years
