He should cut his losses and just TaleWorlds it, aka simply poop out whatever odds and ends of the remaining acts he has, and call it a 1.0 release. It's obvious that he has lost the spark to work on this 7-year-old game, which is relatable. Every time he opens the project, he comes face to face with the fact that the only data structure he knew how to make was babby's giant mega array. Imagine having to go back and work on a draft for a novel you wrote in junior high, I mean I personally would just burn it and pretend it never happened.
The way he talks about his mega array genuinely sounds like he came up with an excuse, but in the middle of telling his excuse he thinks of a better excuse that makes a better storyline, and then starts expanding on that.
