EA has also shared an update regarding the issue on their support forums. This is the full text of their statement:
We're investigating reports of errors when downloading or launching recently installed games in the Origin client.
You may receive an error or be unable to download or begin playing a title you've recently purchased or installed,
Stay tuned for updates and solutions as we work on resolving these issues.
Unfortunately, EA has no timeframe, or other information at this time, so you may safely assume any and all of your games on Origin are currently unplayable.
