Why doesn't every software company stop piracy? It's not as easy as you think.

They did.
Several times their updates broke dproto - people just updated it to work with the new builds.
They changed the master server to essentially prevent older servers from registering, forcing non-steam clients to rely on 3rd party servers lists which are usually full of redirects/fake servers.

However, it's just not profitable for them to invest resources in trying to keep up with non-steam. Their main source of income is not cs 1.6. As Bugsy said, it's not easy to do so they don't see the point.

Im not any server owner, but im just wondering, why non-steam servers bother you? Im not sure how it can affect your (probably legal steam) server

Would be a real miracle to see a clean list of Steam-only servers on the licensed copy of the game, that's also one of the reasons why Steam-On servers are very difficult to populate.

They can just make the game free and get it over with. It's not like they make THAT much money off of it.

I doubt that they will make the game free to play, since there is no profit from that, as Dota 2 and CSGO bring.

Why would they bother with a 90's game? The game was supposed to be dead at this point.
