I think Steam's cut should probably be something like 0.05 * (log(x) + 1) where x is number of copies sold.

You mean that games need to have 100 000 copies sold to get to the 30% cut?

Yes. It would mean that small indie games with low sales wouldn't be hit as hard by Steam taking a cut, and huge hits that sell millions of copies would help subsidize this.
