I wish I could say this was a surprise, but when the news came out that Ubi bought THQ Montreal I had a feeling it would end this way. After the issues surrounding his leaving Ubisoft post-Brotherhood and him going to start up a new development team for THQ in the same city where he quit from, you had to know when Ubi was going to have a very quick trigger with Patrice.
My guess would be that management was starting to strongarm development of 1666 and Patrice was pushing back. I have a feeling that if they are willing to fire Patrice, the game may be further along than we think.
