I'm sure adding her voice to this game would require a contract that would have to be signed by her estate and heirs. I would guess they have more pressing things to do right now then try to determine a fair market value for her voice work in the context of a freemium mobile game.

Maybe later, after some time has passed, EA can approach the estate and offer a comparable deal to what they give the other voice talent. However, I assume they cut a deal with the six main cast members (and no one else) precisely to avoid haggling with the rest of the cast members to keep their expenses low.

It's not like EA can just unilaterally add someone's voice to a game and not compensate them for it.

*Exactly*....and I'm sure if Marcia wanted to be involved in the game she already would have been (I'm sure EA tried to get her when they got the rest of the voice actors)....IMHO it would be hugely disrespectful to add her now even if her estate agreed (when it's already pretty clear she didn't want to be involved)

I'd wager that EA never even asked her, because they didn't want to pay for minor characters. They probably decided from the start to restrict it to the main six cast members. Maybe if the game is successful enough, they can start cutting deals with Milhouse (Pamela Hayden) and others.
