He was fired because they didn't see eye to eye on his new project
There's very little to base that on. Also, if it was just spite and no other factors, why now? Why not when they first acquired him, months ago?
More likely, he was being over protective of his project which Ubisoft now owned, which probably opened up old tensions.
There are so many potential factors you have no way of knowing, whatsoever. Of course he says it was unwarranted. There was clearly difficulty between Patrice and Ubi. What we don't know is who is in the right. What possible circumstances, where Patrice is fired, would he ever say "Yeah, it WAS warranted... I'm a difficult prick to work with."
Whereas claiming it was some long, gestating Old Boy style revenge is just silly.
You've been listening to Sean Penn again, haven't you?

Beautiful trailer for a beautiful game.
Anybody notice the object Kenway's holding up to the moonlight at the end? The bauble definitely looks very modern, even futuristic. Definitely doesn't look like it belongs in the 18th century. Just sayin'.

Is the lovely Jade Ramond still involved with the series?
She came back for this one having left after ACII.
