i suggest to bioware makes some authentication when play the game, (like starcraft2)

who play the game without the internet these days?

This is the type of DRM that encourages piracy actually. Especially if people game on their laptops.  You don't want to have to find an internet connection every time you play a game.  Even people who won't pirate may used cracked versions of games if they have either iffy internet connections or cannot be connected all the time, and this type of DRM very much encourages that.  And people who are on the fence about pirating may just keep 'forgetting" to buy a legal copy after they have a cracked version.

Anyway, it penalizes the legal owners of the game, and does nothing to prevent piracy.

Edit: You will never be able to prevent piracy.  There are very talented programmers out there who enjoy the challenge for whatever reason, and they're doing it on their own time.  What you can do is put out a quality product so that you encourage people to buy the game, and have DRM be unobtrusive enough that it's not easier to play a pirated game than a legal version.

This is illegal. Why won't you just rent it ?

As far as I am aware, it's not possible to rent PC games.

The best thing to do in order to maximize sales is not to include any DRM at all. The game will be leaked and pirated no matter what. The only thing that DRM does is to put off many legitimate customers who want to buy the game anyway. Of course companies know that and the only reason why they still want to do it is not to combat piracy but to eliminate the second hand market. I hope that Bioware sticks to plans like Free DLC and the Cerberus Network to boost new game sales vs second hand sales.

In spite "DAII" being in the title of the thread, this doesn't appear to actually be about DAII. I do recommend the Off Topic Forum if you'd like to continue with this discussion.
