How is it equivalent to a wage? You don't do any work to earn it, you simply have to pass go. Unless every player is a real estate agent whose boss makes them complete a stupid foot race to get their pay?
Side note, because I can't be bothered writing a top-level comment too: Up until the more recent games that use the million scale, it's always been $200, ever since 1935 (patent date). In today's money, that's $4,586, which honestly would be a good place to start for a monthly UBI in my opinion.
