Launch EA game using command

Hi, I am trying to launch EA game via commandline using the below command. I have installed the games using EA app.

origin://launchgame/[gameid]

I am referring to the below link:

Solved: EA App launch URLs - Answer HQ

I tried launching the game Unravel using the command "origin://LaunchGame/Origin.OFR.50.0001380" or "origin2://game/launch?offerids=Origin.SFT.50.0000351" 

Both are not working. When I issue the command, EA app shows the error "You dont have access. The title may have been downloaded to your device by another user who owns the game. Log into a different account or restar the app to try again".

The value "Origin.OFR.50.0001380" I got from the location "C:\ProgramData\EA Desktop\InstallData\Unravel\base-Origin.SFT.50.0000351". 

But it is not launching the game. How can I launch the game using command? It is not working for any game. What is the issue here? Is there any other game identification code like productcode we should use? I see that in the Game properties page in EA app, not all games have product code. Could someone please guide me on how to launch the game via command? Thanks!

    it's not possible to get a contact with the advisor. this link only shows articles with common questions. All merging questions are linked with "What to do if you've accidentally made a second EA Account" article that is useless. and there is no option for a chat with advisor.

    Lutris (a gaming tool on linux) uses it (with wine), it works well: it works the same way under windows. The offerids for each game can be found on installerdata.xml, section contentid within folder "__installer" itself within the games' installation folders.

    EALauncher.exe  origin2://game/launch?offerIds=<contentIDs>

    for Bejeweled 3: 

    <contentIDs>
<contentID>71715</contentID>
</contentIDs>

    EALauncher  origin2://game/launch?offerIds=71715

    EALauncher origin2://game/launch?offerIds=71715_pc&autoDownload=1

    for Jade empire:

    origin2://game/launch?offerIds=1019681&autoDownload=1
