I've only been playing since last year but as far as I can tell Stephen Hawking is the first real life person or celebrity that I have noticed in the game, well besides the presidents. I was excited to see this as I was hoping this would open the floodgates to more celebrities being included in the game. Great character, but could have been awesome if they gave him the computerized voice! Would be cool to see more celebrities included in events....who would you like to see?
Matt Groening creator of The Simpson's has been a character for awhile.
Make Nightmare Pile like Zombie Sandwich. All kids trick or treat at once.

I prefer my simpsons celebrities to be a parody of the real ones.
I also thought it seemed cheap that they didn't voice Hawking at all, how hard could that have been?
Doubtful - why would they add more costs this far into the lifecycle? This title is 4 years old and the revenue is continuing to slide. I can only imagine EA's operating costs just on server space to keep this operational. The fan boys don't realize that by EA offering more land and/or increasing the item limit they are exponentially increasing their server operating costs which only creates more financial strain.
Speculate: EA ends service for this title post Xmas update. Highly doubt this game will continue for another full year so make these last holiday events count.

I like Stephen Hawking in the game. Sure, he's a real person, but he's appeared in so many episodes that he's practically a Springfield resident at this point (kind of like Matt Groening himself). That said, I kind of want my celebrity guest stars at a minimum. No need to make this like that Family Guy game. However, I do have one request:
I think there are more than enough characters and buildings from the show to get through before they have to resort to awful celebrity guest spots. In my opinion, celebrity guest spots ruined the show. It all started going downhill with the ridiculous and frivolous appearance of Ron Howard, Kim Basinger, and Alec Baldwin.

I prefer actual Simpsons characters. Especially considering how there's still so many more the game can pull from. Including Just Stamp the Ticket Guy
This.
