The goal of this project is to make progress in reinforcement learning. Having an AI plan and learn strategies to play a game. This is a separate problem from machine vision, which is being worked on by tons of other people. Adding a machine vision requirement wouldn't help them with their goal and would take 100x more computing resources. OpenAI could probably afford to do it, but it no smaller researchers or hobbyists would be able to compete.
