It wasn't removed, it just wasn't ported over to the new engine installment. As things are rewritten (for instance animations, UI) this kind of thing has to be rewritten too, not to mention art direction has to be changed to fit the new game.
Well not including something that was included is like excluding
Is like if I make a group with me, you, broccolisoup and docttj then I destroy the group to immediately make a new one, but then with me, you and broccolisoup only, it's the same as excluding docttj
(Well that was a bad of an example but I hope I was clear)
After all, the overall change is the same independent of the route chosen. So if either way exists (your's "not including" plus our excluding) the outcome "no dice poker" will happen anyway, and anyway we'll be sad
Or we could say, that excluding all of them and then adding all of them but docttj is the same of excluding docttj. In other words -> me + you + broccolisoup + docttj - me - you - broccolisoup - docttj + me + you + broccolisoup = me + you + broccolisoup and is the same of me + you + broccolisoup + docttj - docttj
(Well that was a weird argument ...)
Well, for real life not all the cases work like that (where only start and end matters), but for the groups example* and for the dice poker, it works
*if we talk about groups with same purposes (like one for the praise of nilfgaard and the other to hate assassin's creed)
Well, now let's go to questions to chris:
did the forum feedback affected the final product (game) in a solid way?
